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 1% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 79.8/100, a mean average of 78.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 80.2/100. The standard deviation for this album is 16.8.

Best EP ever. Polyethylene, Pearly, and Palo Alto are some of Radiohead's best songs. Thom's voice really shines in this album, and Johnny absolutely shreds. Shouldn't be a surprise that the greatest album of all time also has the greatest B-Sides. (Edited)

This is an awesome EP. How airbag was the only song that went onto one of their albums I do not know. I really like that track, but I think I enjoy the other 5 tracks as much or more.
