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 72.6/100, a mean average of 72.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 72.7/100. The standard deviation for this album is 11.9.

From Repo 04/27/2021 20:38 in My discoveries per year
“An album on my wishlist: This band has always been at the background of my memories. They were loved in the Indie circles that I was in at the time, I knew them and even liked some tracks but never really got into them. And the same is true for this album which is much more poppy than their others…”

Pretty enjoyable, but less creative than the debut.
