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 11% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 74.6/100, a mean average of 73.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 75.3/100. The standard deviation for this album is 18.0.

“Been awhile since I’ve listened to this one, but I can tell you right now that it’s still one of The Residents weakest albums that I’ve heard. This is not to say I dislike it, as that would be wrong—but I’m not in love with it like I am “Commercial Album”, “Meet the Residents”, and “Third Reich ‘n…”
