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 9% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 74.9/100, a mean average of 76.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 76.1/100. The standard deviation for this album is 11.4.

“Pop” isn’t a dirty word: Sophie Ellis Bextor and her team of writers demonstrate that amply here, with a collection of songs that delight at (almost) every turn - the tracks from the original release are superior to the ones added in as extras later on. From the kitschy Murder On The Dancefloor to the serious-edged Sparkle, there’s plenty here to enjoy. A genuine pop gem.

Really bland. If you're really in the mood for cheesy, unchallenging disco, this is nice though.

A killer record that takes nu-disco and house into a space journey with Sophie's killer vocals. Underrated pop record!
