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 6% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 75.6/100, a mean average of 75.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 75.9/100. The standard deviation for this album is 12.6.

I liked this album a lot more than I initially anticipated. A couple of the songs on this were really, really good. I especially liked the songs Rattle that Lock and In Any Tongue.

I think this is a very good album. The lyrics is good and so is the music. It shows good variation so you don't go tired after first listen. (Edited)

More or less what you expected from it, though I hoped it was slightly better. The jazzy stuff is not very exciting in my opinion. (Edited)
