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 68.5/100, a mean average of 67.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 67.7/100. The standard deviation for this album is 21.5.

Their best album. Catchy hooks and glossy production meet drug-fueled anything-goes alt rock. I'm With You, Borderlines and Aliens, I'm With You, Shark Attack, News to Me are all bangers. Even Bitin' the Bullet, a track I initially hated, really caught on after multiple listens, and now I think it's brilliant. Saw them live a few times back in their heyday, and they crushed it.
