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 41.8/100, a mean average of 39.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 39.5/100. The standard deviation for this album is 23.5.

“I guess this is cheating... perfect albums by amazing bands, but then they lost their key player(s) and the band went to shit. Also some argue Boy, War, Joshua Tree, Achtung Baby are perfect albums by U2 (it seems there's never a consensus on when their peak was or their downfall was... but that's…”

pretty much what is said below is 100% on. not a terrible record. but a terrible velvet underground record. sounds more like a record of songs that didn't make the cut for a nuggets disc. (Edited)
