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 1% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 82.1/100, a mean average of 81.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 82.2/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.2.

A classic from Bob Marley at his peak. So many good songs that by now must be classified as "standards" within the reggae genre. "Don't worry.....'bout a thing....'cause every little thing is gonna be alright...." (Edited)

Not a fan of this type of music, it all sounds the same to me. However I can't deny that Jamming, Three Little Birds and especially Waiting In Vain are great. The second half is much better than the first half. (Edited)

Exodus is a concept album that explores themes of faith, love, and hope in the face of adversity. The album's title track is a seven-minute epic that tells the story of a man who is searching for a new beginning. Other notable tracks include "So Much Things to Say," "Waiting in Vain," and "Three Little Birds." (Edited)
