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 2% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 79.7/100, a mean average of 79.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 80.5/100. The standard deviation for this album is 18.4.

I bought Story Of The Clash by Clash on 28/09/2002 from on CD2 for £7.99 The version I have is on the record label Columbia catalogue number 495351 2 It entered the UK charts on 02/04/1988 and got to number 7 spending a total of 21 weeks on the chart.
Really played this until it was so scratched loved it more than any of their studio albums
Great way to discover what one the most important bands ever was all about. The next step, of course, is to pick up London Calling.
