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 69.7/100, a mean average of 68.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 69.4/100. The standard deviation for this album is 12.8.

I Saw Robert Plant on tour in the eighties at the Cornwall Coliseum. Brings back lots of happy memories, love the synth work on 'Big Log' and 'In the Mood' I Think Phil Collins was sat behind the drums when I saw them which was an added bonus. Superb concert and great album.

Big Log is a great track, but this album is bland as hell.
