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 5% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 76.0/100, a mean average of 78.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 78.1/100. The standard deviation for this album is 11.9.

This album was the soundtrack for a long drive from the Adirondacks in upstate New York down to the Great Smoky Mountains in Tennessee for a backpacking trip with a woman I loved at the time. We sang at the top of our lungs all the way down. I think now, though, that she might have thought I identified a little too much with the opening lines to the rollicking banjo stomper "Bloody 98": "I got a wife in Hattiesburg and a lover in Mobile." For the record, I don't, never did, and don't want to. As for the album itself, this is one of the best entries in the alt-country genre in the nineties, a collection of well-written songs with effects like barking dogs as a constant reminder of the Mississippi woods from which these songs originated.
