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 23% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 73.5/100, a mean average of 72.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 73.6/100. The standard deviation for this album is 17.2.

I think now we know where AC/DC may have gotten some of their more lascivious ideas from ;) (Edited)

After the mainly Alex written "Framed" album, this was the first cohesive SAHB album. Favourite tracks are "Faith Healer", "Gang Bang", and the excellent (mini opera?) "Last of the Teenage Idols"... FANTASTIC!
