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 71.8/100, a mean average of 71.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 71.7/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.9.

Very good pop rock/alternative rock album. Best 10 songs average is 89,8/100 and the album can get very good 90/100. Best song is "Everything" - maximum rating. Followed by "Out is through" 95/100 and next "Excuses" 90/100. All other songs good 85/100, except "So-called chaos" 80/100 only. Not one of her best albums, but consistently anyway. Favourite!

I don't know if this makes sense, but by this album, it seems that Alanis' reflections and introspections are soley for herself. Her message does not connect with the listener anymore. It's like reading someone's self-indulgent diary.

Probably the worst "post-JLP" Alanis album, but still slightly above average.
