Rating metrics: 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 4% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 76.2/100, a mean average of 77.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 77.1/100. The standard deviation for this album is 12.7.

From baystateoftheart 01/17/2022 02:20 in You must listen to the album below you.
“Only the second Jason Molina album I've heard after The Magnolia Electric Co., and this sounds totally different. Instead of alt-country, we get something closer to The Microphones. Quirky, depressive, more or less solo folk with instrumental and compositional variety. Ghost Tropic is interesting…”
