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 2% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 77.9/100, a mean average of 77.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 78.4/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.3.

From baystateoftheart 10/02/2018 20:36 in Human Canon Ball Relaunched: A Trip Through Time
“Unsuccessful at the time and out of step with the sound Fugees became famous for, this debut is deeply underrated. The best tracks here are nothing short of fantastic, but the album is overlong and suffers from a lack of quality control. Cutting the homophobic "Living Like There Ain't No Tomorrow"…”

My favorite Autechre album... But that may be because it was my first encounter with these legends. This feels like the sounds of a large computer-generated mass-production factory placed on the dark side of the moon.
