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 15% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 74.2/100, a mean average of 74.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 74.5/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.6.

“Two albums of 1997 I listened to: An album I already own (originally on CD): In fact this is a masterpiece. This band has everything Muse isn't: it's over the top but it's genial over the top both in the singing of Rob Dickinson (as his cousin Bruce but in a different way) as in the songwriting…”

I like music from the 90s that doesn't remind me of junior high. Fortunately I didn't know this existed then so it's free from those attachments.
