Rating metrics: 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 2% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 78.7/100, a mean average of 78.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 81.3/100. The standard deviation for this album is 16.6.

Traditional jazz master trumpeter Donald Byrd jumps into R&B based jazz-funk with both feet on this album and comes up with a lively, entertaining, and most importantly, excellent set. This may well be THE classic of the genre.
