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 2% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 79.4/100, a mean average of 79.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 80.8/100. The standard deviation for this album is 17.6.

“He was just absolutely incredible. *Is 8) Jorge's still kickin it (mid 70's or so, he performed at the Rio Olympics). Glad you dug the release. I've heard (I dunno... 9?) of his albums, and there hasn't been a dud in the bunch. Some better than others sure, but nothing not worth giving a spin. Dive…”

Una de las creaciones musicales más hermosas de todos los tiempos. Saber apreciarla en tu totalidad puede resultar sencillo e inmediato o necesitar de varias escuchas. (Edited)
