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 77.8/100, a mean average of 78.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 79.5/100. The standard deviation for this album is 11.9.

These guys are criminally underrated, it angers me how long it took me to find them. This album sounds like the lovechild of Radiohead and Arcade Fire

Was looking forward to this album for a while. After being surprised by their first effort I was interested to see if they can pull it off again. They certainly did as I find myself enjoying this album even more than their first!

I actually thought it was better than their first. Really good stuff, especially the songs "I can't figure out what's going on" and "Warmest Regards".
