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 71.2/100, a mean average of 68.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 70.8/100. The standard deviation for this album is 21.0.

“Friday 10th July 4:23 PM Another album added to the database; another electronica album. A pattern is starting to emerge here. The problem with these electronic albums is that they would be alright, if In Colour by Jamie xx wasn't the absolute peak of the genre in 2015 and/or possibly of this…”

Such a whitewashed - or should I say coldplayed - version of The Weeknd that I almost want to call it cultural appropriation. But then I should accuse The Rolling Stones and The Beatles of similar crimes.
