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 73.0/100, a mean average of 72.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 73.2/100. The standard deviation for this album is 12.8.

Speedy Ortiz rock. Yeah it is a bit like Pavement with Liz Phair's vocals, but who wouldn't love that? Grimy ass chords with some nice pop hooks are hard to turn away from.

Very anxious to see what they do next. They played a great live show in Chicago last December.

It's Pavement with Liz Phair singing. This thirty-something wants more.

Back to the future.... 1995 indeed. Think Belly or June. Aptly made though.
