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 61.1/100, a mean average of 57.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 57.3/100. The standard deviation for this album is 19.9.

They sound like they're trying to sound like something. I don't know what but it sounds off. She's So Mean isn't bad but it isn't a Matchbox Twenty song. I really love Radio because it is different but other than that this album really fell flat for me.

By far their worst effort to date. Wait all these years for this? Not totally bad, but far from their best.
