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 has a Bayesian average rating of 61.7/100, a mean average of 59.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 59.9/100. The standard deviation for this album is 17.7.

This could be a really good 10 track album if you cut out the bad tracks (Tracks 7,9 & 13). Then you have a good album I would rearrange the running order - 1,2,4,5,6,8,3,12,11&10
