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 5% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 75.8/100, a mean average of 77.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 77.8/100. The standard deviation for this album is 12.6.

“The intro to Hey King is the closest thing to a modern Trout Mask Replica I've ever heard. Literally post-hardcore Frownland. And the experimental, noise and post-hardcore influenced style which they establish on the opener is a constant on the album. Maybe even gets weirder as the album goes on. A…”

“Glad to see you're onto 1995. This album's great! Hi Ya Chief! After six months of wading around in the waters of ‘94, I’m finally moving forward with 1995. :mrgreen: Saw Al Johnson & Mark Shippy’s band Snailboy (pre-Shorty) open for the Jesus Lizard... in a church basement, of all places,…”
