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 78.6/100, a mean average of 80.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 80.0/100. The standard deviation for this album is 11.5.

It's ok, but not as good as it is rated. Some nice songs in here though. 7/10.

Thank you awesomness. The only reason I found this guy is because of your chart, which I only looked at because your avatar is one of my favorite albums. A diamond in the rough indeed, he should be a household name.

I found a diamond in the rough..little bias maybe towards the indie folk genre..but i really do not care. This shit is tight.
