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 has a Bayesian average rating of 71.0/100, a mean average of 70.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 70.7/100. The standard deviation for this album is 9.9.

This is the debut album from the Temptations but it's misleading as it is made up from singles (A & B Sides) released between 1961-64. So basically they didn't go into the studio and record an album, Motown just made an album from the tracks already recorded, this was the method at Motown in the early days. On this occasion it works well.
