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 71.7/100, a mean average of 71.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 71.6/100. The standard deviation for this album is 17.2.

An eclectic, eccentric collaboration of former Dresden Dolls member and pop piano tunesmith Ben Folds comes up just short of hitting the mark. The weird and wonderful are topics du jour. Some guests show up, including Dead Kennedys drummer East Bay Ray and St. Vincent's Annie Clark, but it mostly adds up to a hillful of nearly nothing to paraphrase the opening track.

Amanda Palmer makes psychotic and murderous fun. I really enjoyed listening to this album. She is a great artist. Runs in the Family and Leeds United are my favourites.
