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 3% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 77.5/100, a mean average of 77.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 77.9/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.7.

I'm gonna veer off 1972 a bit to launch myself in the investigation into two bands of the seventies: not only Uriah Heep but also Status Quo: to me two bands: - who have dominated the seventies at least the pre-punk years but both had their roots in the sixties - where both play hard rock but not…

Man, it's such a shame that idiots like Deep Purple went on to become such undeserving superstars, while these geniuses were left in the heavy-prog dust. This is a hammond-brothers classic.
