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 25% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 73.4/100, a mean average of 71.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 73.9/100. The standard deviation for this album is 18.3.

This is my personal best U.K.Subs album hands down, and placed in my Top 5 British Punk Albums to date!

Solid punk album. Wasn't familiar with UK Subs back in the day so 2016 was my first listen to it. Should be rated higher as few punk albums reached top 20 status on the UK charts

The first UK Subs album I bought back in 1980, faultless. Many other fantastic releases before (AKOB) and since , but this still remains my favourite as it kick started my love of The Subs.
