Rating metrics: 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 1% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 81.2/100, a mean average of 79.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 81.8/100. The standard deviation for this album is 20.7.

Usually when discovering bands I'm unfamiliar with I get one of their 'Greatest Hits' albums to check them out before moving onto the studio albums if I like what I hear. Hence being the case getting this. I always appreciate a band that has it's own unique style which is what I find here. It's good but I think this'll be enough for me personally.
