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 9% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 74.9/100, a mean average of 76.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 76.7/100. The standard deviation for this album is 8.1.

Yes, Digable Planets are great. I had discovered them relatively early in my hip hop explorations, but didn’t spend much time with them and they never made it to my favourites, with the exception of Rebirth Of Slick, which I’ve always loved, what a banger. In the past few months, I’ve been…

A true modern classic (well, fairly modern). I suppose it is true that there is still good music out there, you just need to look for it. The double whammy of "Stop" and "Sunlight Hits the Snow" is worth the price of admission.
