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 7% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 75.4/100, a mean average of 74.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 76.0/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.4.

Ci ho messo un bel po' a farmi piacere questo disco, che fino ad un certo punto consideravo un reggae leggero da feste in piscina e di cui poi, pur senza che diventasse uno dei miei dischi preferiti, ho cominciato ad apprezzare la carica soul ed i languori da Sam Cooke giamaicano. E' un gran piacione, infatti, Gregory Isaacs e l'infermiera notturna è fin troppo chiaro che tipo di assistenza possa dargli.

Once again, Tooky hasn't got a scooby. Soul nuts will get plenty out of this - the Cool Ruler had a voice which could melt butter, the vibe is Lovers as opposed to Roots and arguably given its slick production I would wager that it would appeal more to a crossover audience than to skanking dreads and dubheads. Nevertheless, a great record.
