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 71.4/100, a mean average of 71.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 71.1/100. The standard deviation for this album is 12.1.

A superb album from one of the most sophisticated and elegant jazz combos ever, Stunning.
All the men in this band are top brass of the jazz army!

An interesting jazz piece. It has a very refined, stately feel to it, a bit like Brubeck's more cerebral moments. I am still struggling to enjoy the sound of the vibes in conjunction with the other instruments, but I think it is getting better for me
