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 17% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 74.0/100, a mean average of 74.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 74.3/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.4.

The songwriting and singing are good, but the album is very poorly produced and sounds terrible to my ears, muddy and flat. Decent demo, now go make a proper album. If you've ever ping-ponged tracks on audio tape, you'll recognize the sound of overdoing it. Good music that doesn't sound good, it's a problem.

Brilliant debt, if a little inconsistent and unfocused. Beautiful ballads in Believe in Me and We Gotta Get You a Woman and the Baby Let's Swing Medley and Birthday Carol are masterpieces
