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 5% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 76.0/100, a mean average of 75.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 76.7/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.3.

Что-то у них с каждым годом всё хуже и хуже. В 75ом очень хорошо стартанули с первых синглов, потом альбомы всё хуже и хуже. Вот так можно упасть с самой вершины на самое дно. Они мне безумно нравятся, но только в начале карьеры, когда они только отпочковались от Rocket from the tombs. Ну зато появился Joy Division, который чем-то напоминал Пере Убу 75го года. А сами Пере Убу куда-то в индастриал заехали
