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 has a Bayesian average rating of 72.1/100, a mean average of 71.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 72.1/100. The standard deviation for this album is 17.0.

This is an awesome thrash album. The original mix is dirty but actually adds to the songs. Any thrash or Megadeth fan will enjoy this album. It gets my recommendation for Looking Down The Cross alone.

They forgot that something like melody exists.
You won't remember anything about it even after ten listens. (Edited)
