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 15% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 74.2/100, a mean average of 73.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 74.6/100. The standard deviation for this album is 16.7.

Points for anyone who has heard Psykosonik's music. Pumping, driving and ready for your local club, the Presets' dance music pulsates THA RAWK with their synth-heavy electronica. They remind me of that "middle earth" techno period following the techno/ambient birth (eno, can & kraftwerk) and the beginning (aphex twin, moby & a slew of mediocre tinkerers), meaning their methods aren't new, but they've perfected the formula. This album would've ruled college radio in the early 90s. When it comes to techno-dance, truly This Boy's In Love.
