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 66.9/100, a mean average of 66.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 66.8/100. The standard deviation for this album is 18.4.

“And two albums of 2014: An album I already own: I like the general flow of this last Pink Floyd/David Gilmour album and it does have a lot of references to their earlier work. Especially It's What We do is very good, but the rest of the tracks float by like an Endless River. The album is too long…”

Mostly just a collection of instrumental outtakes from 20 years ago. A couple solid moments here and there but overall nonessential! (Edited)

I love listening to this type of instrumental music, typical Floyd nothing new and some it rehashed or heard before. It's gorgeously ambient, nothing taxing just nice and soothing like drifting down a lazy river. (Edited)
