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 66.6/100, a mean average of 64.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 64.1/100. The standard deviation for this album is 20.3.

“I just listened to this. A bit more straight ahead than I was expecting, and a bit more Lo-fi than I was expecting. And then I listened to this. Very free, two side long pieces with vocalisations. I think I like Side A, which was less intense and conjures up, well, the afternoon of a Georgia faun.”

“enjoy, dbz Alright, so I didn't quite know what to expect diving into this. I'm familiar with the individual work of most of the artists in this lineup, so I certainly didn't expect something that sounds entirely different than, and in many ways, far more compelling, than any of their individual…”
