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 2% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 78.9/100, a mean average of 77.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 80.1/100. The standard deviation for this album is 19.7.

This was the first album i know from my early childhood times together with porgy and bess. The cover still seemed magic for me when I was 10, but the music opened a world that hasn't ended since then - probably because it just sums up everything catchy and relevant of the mop-top Beatles

A good Beatles compilation at the time. All the hits and some non single album tracks, and the only place where you could get, bad boy. A nice psychedelic cover too, even though it doesn't have a lot to do with the music inside. I used to have this on cassette. It's still an excellent round up of the band's first half of their career.
