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 73.1/100, a mean average of 73.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 73.4/100. The standard deviation for this album is 10.6.

Sturgill Simpson burst on the scene with High Top Mountain. Its a traditional sounding, hard working, country album, with some great vocals and musicianship from some of the industry's top talents. It stands head and shoulders above what the genre as been for the past 20+ years, like a breath of fresh hill country air after being stuck in the polluted smog.

This fella is Country! A real throw-back, which probably means no one will ever hear about him, or Nashville will grab hold of him and shape him in to a carbon copy of all the other milk toast trash they put out.
