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 9% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 74.9/100, a mean average of 74.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 75.2/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.0.

I can't believe there is only one comment about this all-time classic album. Gorgeous harmonies. Perfect. Strongly influenced by the Byrds. My favourite track is I Don't Want Control of You which Norman wrote about his baby daughter. Author Nick Hornby, (he of the love letter to mix tapes in his novel High Fidelity), says this is one of his all-time favourite albums.
