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 8% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 75.1/100, a mean average of 74.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 75.3/100. The standard deviation for this album is 12.6.

A great debut album. Dusty knows how to sing these songs, embodying them with the right amount of soul and personal feeling to make the performance memorable. 9/10!

A thoroughly enjoyable Dusty Springfield album. Great songs, as you would expect, especially, you don't own me, anyone who had a heart, and, will you love tomorrow? Great pop songs sung by a fantastic singer. How can you go wrong?
