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 8% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 74.9/100, a mean average of 76.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 76.0/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.3.

This is such a good record. Seriously, there's not a bad song on it. I do think that "Beanni" is a little bit of a filler song and could have been removed, but otherwise it's just fantastic from start to end. (Edited)

Contains tons of laid-back catchy tunes. The fusion of genres is the highlight of this album, full of energy and creativity. Sadly, they could never come close to topping this debut release.
