Rating metrics: 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 3% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 76.7/100, a mean average of 75.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 77.1/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.4.

“This was a pleasant surprise, at least compared to my rather low expectations. Maybe because it didn't go all out, it felt like more of an outsider's look at this culture, kinda similar to Sketches of Spain, so it was more accessible, more tourist friendly if you will. 6.5/10. Embarrassed not to…”
