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 61.2/100, a mean average of 59.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 59.2/100. The standard deviation for this album is 22.9.

“look honestly if we're trying to "objectively" represent the state of popular music in the 90s then for better or for worse you're probably looking at a lineup something like this”

I've always liked "Water Runs Dry" & "On Bended Knee". Lots of filler, but the singles are solid. (Edited)

Lots of filler? Try the entire album... This is music for the dentist office or an elevator. Easy listening, but pure drivel.
