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 2% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 78.2/100, a mean average of 77.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 78.4/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.6.

This album is scary and at the same time fascinating.

There has never been an album that fit the "Kosmische" label as much as Radio-Aktivität. My new favorite Kraftwerk album.

Even if it's slightly inferior to Kraftwerk's very best albums, "Radioactivity" still remains remarkable, pioneering and timeless. The fusion of chilly, futuristic electronica and electricity / telecommunications / nuclear (disaster) subtext is utterly bewitching. A highly underrated concept album and one of the greats of the decade.
