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 70.3/100, a mean average of 69.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 70.2/100. The standard deviation for this album is 17.0.

Great alternative rock album. Best 10 songs average is 94,2/100 and the album can get great 95/100. Great songs at the beginning and some very good ballads at the end. Best and full scoring songs are "Hollywood" and "When you're gone". Closely followed by "Salvation" and "Free to decide" both 95/100 and next ballads "Cordell" and "Bosnia" both 90/100.

Not as bad as they say. Many good songs and it is a real try to be a bit heavier!

This has a slightly more rock sound but it's still definitely the Cranberries. It's a good album, definitely an interesting one in their discography. I know a couple people who say this is their favorite by them.
