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 2% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 79.2/100, a mean average of 77.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 79.7/100. The standard deviation for this album is 17.4.

"Haha Sound" is equivalent to a rough diamond. Gorgeous, yet has off-kilter quirks that give it a distinctive edge. Consistent throughout, it's another huge success and a welcome addition to the indietronica genre.

Really enjoyed "Pendulum", "Ominous Cloud", and "Before We Begin" along with other songs. Overall good album but started losing momentum for me towards the end.
