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 62.3/100, a mean average of 57.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 57.7/100. The standard deviation for this album is 16.4.

Disappointing. Not a very classy move to choose the replacement of a legend with a reality TV Show. Sonically. abysmal

New lead singer, a little injection of energy. Enough to get some life, but not enough to regain relevance. An OK but forgetable album.
