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 67.9/100, a mean average of 66.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 66.6/100. The standard deviation for this album is 19.3.

This album pre-dated ‘The One Show’ by almost 10 years but several tracks feel like they could soundtrack Matt Baker pulling a stillborn calf from the vulva of a Belted Galloway, before resuscitating it with tales from the barn. Moooooooooo.

2.Once In A Blue Moon. 76
3.Question Of Faith. 69
4.Let It All Change. 71
