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 16% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 74.1/100, a mean average of 74.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 74.4/100. The standard deviation for this album is 11.6.

Quite like this album- trouble is whenever I listen to some Maccabees it's always going to be Given To The Wild.

They are book worms, they are robots, sometimes clinical, sometimes shining. Album works for the most part. The painted acrylic on the album cover represents the music world, it is shiny and smooth. Music for the fab new modern apartment with that bizarre modern art sculpture. Also beginning to realize U2 big sound dreams on here which come to fruitation on the next album.
