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 68.4/100, a mean average of 66.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 67.8/100. The standard deviation for this album is 20.5.

The intent: the ultimate feminist record, showing how the patriarchy fucks up everything on a personal level. It almost succeeds. It's too bad, because if it worked just a little better, this could have been a record not to have been ignored.

When an album relies on loud guitars that drags on for longer than you though possible, you can't seem to believe that those who wrote "Live Through This" started off with such a horribly made album with only a shred of enjoyability and total mindlessness, hoping that the myth that "louder is better" will get them not only attention, but credibility.

Noisy and raw and quite riot grrly. A little too much of a ruckus for me but I respect it.
