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 16% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 74.1/100, a mean average of 74.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 74.5/100. The standard deviation for this album is 16.0.

Such a great collective piece of work. Hard to believe its only a mixtape... Real Cudi fans still consider it an album though. Standout tracks are Man on the Moon, The Prayer, Heaven at Nite, and Cleveland is the Reason.

I like this better than any album he ever released, and I love his first few. Lots of samples but still so sweet. The Prayer is beautiful
