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 70.2/100, a mean average of 69.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 69.9/100. The standard deviation for this album is 20.2.

The apocalyptic drive of this album is so intense, it makes 20 Jazz Funk Greats look like an actual Jazz/Funk album.

Evocatively dreary, the album sounds like miserable overcast skies, drizzly rain and bleak concrete landscapes. The use of noise, vocal samples, and bizarre electronic sounds is brilliant.
