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 7% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 75.2/100, a mean average of 75.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 75.9/100. The standard deviation for this album is 12.2.

Even people who hated the movie can appreciate this without any trouble. Imagine being one of those -like me- who loved the movie.

Didn't listen properly first time around, got it on now and it's fairly fantastic. You wouldn't have thought it was the guy out of pwei. Edit: got it again straight away, incredible album.

This is such an underestimated gem: a tremendously beautiful score from a rather moderate film.
