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 70.9/100, a mean average of 70.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 70.8/100. The standard deviation for this album is 18.8.

From CharlieBarley 01/12/2024 09:06 in Highest-ranked album you’ve never heard
“I have heard the whole Top 1000. And most of the top 1001-2000. I spent a few years going through and listening to the albums, even ones I didn't like. I know...OCD! I recently went back through the Overall Chart, just to check I'd heard the top 1000. The highest ranked album I have yet to hear is…”

Fantastic album that rewards multiple listens.

Be Calm is brilliant, I Wanna Be the One has an infectious hop in its step, Light a Roman Candle With Me is perfected love pop and The Gambler is an excellent use of gospel choirs

This is really a "fun" album. Reminds me of Queen a little bit
