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 has a Bayesian average rating of 69.6/100, a mean average of 69.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 69.1/100. The standard deviation for this album is 16.8.

Конечно, это не Machine Head, но очень даже слушабельно, живенько так и для группы, играющей хард-рок более 50 лет, очень и очень хорошо. Молодёжь этот альбом, думаю, не прохавает, эта музыка для старшего поколения в тёртой джинсе и с пивом

This album is better than I expected. It's sound is more on on the level of.Mk II and III, which I think are the best line up. Though this line up is remarkably good.

This album has no right to be as good as it is, it sounds like classic Deep Purple. In my top 100 for good reason.
