Rating metrics: Help Outliers can be removed when calculating a mean average to dampen the effects of ratings outside the normal distribution. This figure is provided as the trimmed mean. A high standard deviation can be legitimate, but can sometimes indicate 'gaming' is occurring. Consider a simplified example* of an item receiving ratings of 100, 50, & 0. The mean average rating would be 50. However, ratings of 55, 50 & 45 could also result in the same average. The second average might be more trusted because there is more consensus around a particular rating (a lower deviation).
(*In practice, some albums can have several thousand ratings)
This album is rated in the top 1% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 80.7/100, a mean average of 78.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 80.8/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.9.

Отличный альбом. Очень много классных мелодий, гармоний. Отличные ударные и бас-партии также радуют на альбоме. Шикарный дебют группы (Edited)

Really good, especially for a debut record. It’s like listening to underground punk, with some synth and harpsichord thrown in, for a pinch of musical diversity. (Edited)

Enjoyable listen. Nothing really comes close to A-Punk though. (Edited)
