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 70.7/100, a mean average of 69.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 70.4/100. The standard deviation for this album is 12.1.

Man, this is my favorite "America" album. There is not one filler on it, was gorgeously produced by George Martin and contains there only other #1 single "Sister Golden Hair". Two other tracks were released as singles as well and hit the Top 50. Even though the album was a huge success in the States topping out at #4, it is still vastly underrated as one can divine from the ranking on this site. There is a reason why of all the "America" albums, only "America" (OOP), "Homecoming" (OOP) and "Hearts" have been released on SACD. If the #8 status on this site has prevented you from treating yourself to this ear candy, pick it up in hi-rez, kick back and zone out, no medicinal herb necessary but it never hoits Moe.
