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 67.1/100, a mean average of 63.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 65.5/100. The standard deviation for this album is 17.8.

The first disappointing Rod Stewart album. It just hasn't got that gritty edge that his first four albums did. There is also a feel of heading towards the pop mainstream. Rod Stewart would never be great again.

Not the best Rod Stewart album but not bad. Mine For Me & Farewell stand out from the rest.
