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 73.4/100, a mean average of 73.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 73.8/100. The standard deviation for this album is 11.7.

I saw Alynda Lee Segarra and company play live at the Rocky Mountain Folks Festival in 2014, a great event in a beautiful natural amphitheater surrounded by red rock canyons and with the St. Vrain River running through the venue. The river was especially a revelation, as the day Hurray for the Riff Raff played was blazing hot, and dunking ourselves in the river was the only real relief from the baking sun. All this is to say, Hurray for the Riff Raff sounded great, and "The Body Electric" is an especially moving inversion of the murder ballad narrative, taking a shot at the misogyny in "Delia's Gone" and other songs that seem to celebrate, or make light of, violence against women. Though the afternoon heat was intense to the point of distraction, it wasn't hard to appreciate the incredible songwriting talent of Segarra and her bandmates, and I'm excited to hear what more they have in store for the future.
