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 71.9/100, a mean average of 70.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 71.8/100. The standard deviation for this album is 18.1.

As some of you are aware, I'm taking an Apocalypse in Film course in college, and after finding Pale Horses today, was hoping to find other albums for the course. Currently I've got the following: I KNOW there's got to be more out there. I just know it. Please do let me know if you're aware of any.

Boxcar Racer's album is a story about a little boy lives at the end of the world. The concept is really good. As for the music the sound is just like a 'darker' and more mature Blink-182. And so are the lyrics. I simply loved it.
