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 75.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 76.8/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.7.

“Before calling it a night yesterday, I crawled out of the Scott Walker induced madness with Black Mountain's Canadian brand of stoner rock. It's hard to believe I saw Bon Iver open for these guys at a 150 capacity venue years ago. That was the single most crowded, sweaty show I've ever been to. It…”
