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 72.4/100, a mean average of 71.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 72.5/100. The standard deviation for this album is 12.3.

Very nice, clean rendition of Blues and Saharan folk music. The lyrics are more Rage Against the Machine than Stevie Ray Vaughan, however. This is a good thing.

after the depressed, mournful Tassili, it sounds like they're starting to have fun again.
