Rating metrics:
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 17% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 74.0/100, a mean average of 75.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 75.4/100. The standard deviation for this album is 5.9.

When I was a kid I was given a compilation album called "Rock 80" - it was one of those K-TEL things that had a mix of various tunes of the day. They were all pretty great. For some reason, though, I never listened to this song back then - I would always skip it. I think maybe the band name turned me off. Honestly, I really don't know why. I recently listened to the song to see what I missed and Wow! What a mistake it was to skip this! I can't stop listening to it now. Lol. Better late than never, I guess!

Without 'Drivers Seat' would anyone have heard of this band?
