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 5% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 76.0/100, a mean average of 75.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 76.4/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.1.

A great album from Wakey's finest. I'm a realist, and Bovine Public are fantastic and the rest are still really good.

Be Safe is amazing! At times the lyrics from "The Cribs" are just really bad and soo simple, but still a solid album

Be safe is one of the greatest songs ever written, if it could be called a song
