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 71.3/100, a mean average of 69.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 71.2/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.2.

Great alternative rock album. Best 10 songs average is 92,5/100 and the album can get great 95/100. Best and full scoring song is "Runaway train", followed by "April fool" 95/100. Almost every other song very good 90/100, except "Get on out" and "99%" good 80-85/100 'only'. Strong album - Favourite!

I'll always give this album extra credit because I played it to death in high school. It seems they never matched this. Don't assume it's only Runaway Train. There's plenty of catchy alt-rock here. Too bad they were overshadowed by Seattle.
