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 72.0/100, a mean average of 70.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 72.0/100. The standard deviation for this album is 12.2.

“The title track is easily in my top three tracks by them, but unlike on their debut, nothing comes close to the big hit. Fairly consistent and enjoyable jangly folk rock, but not extraordinary. 3.5/5 Out of the three records to review by The Rolling Stones, this ended up being my favorite. It's a…”

The Impressions best. Found their own sound instead of trying to be another standard group.
