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 21% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 73.7/100, a mean average of 74.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 74.7/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.6.

I listened to 'In The Shadows' so much when I was all about Fall Out Boy and Panic At the Disco! Kerrang radio used to play it so much in 2005 and 2006 despite it being a few years old. I can't remember much of the rest as I stuck to the one song a lot.

Very good rock album. Best 5 songs average is 90/100 and this is also a good rating for the album. Best song is "In the shadows" I'm rating at a max, followed by "First day..." 95/100. All other songs are good in the region of 80-85/100.
