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 71.1/100, a mean average of 70.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 70.7/100. The standard deviation for this album is 20.3.

this compilation shows just how good DD were

much better than the previous compilation, "Decade" purely because of its inclusion of "New Moon on Monday" and their later classic singles

points off for omitting "meet el presidente" "too much information " "Careless Memories" and the painfully Beautiful "do you believe in shame"

an updated version is required please - including the pop trash and meddazaland era - thanks
