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 16% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 74.0/100, a mean average of 73.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 74.2/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.1.

“From Rocka: That's as good a reason as any to give me this album Rocka. It's a good album title and cover (you know...because of the purple hippyness). I remember the single Shock Me. It got decent airplay on the radio station I listen to at work but it never appealed enough to listen to the album.…”

“Shit bangs, better and more cohesive than My Name Is My Name despite not having any masterpieces (unlike Numbers on the Boards). Best tracks were Untouchable and Sunshine, but nothing was bad. Check this out if you like gangsta-themed rap that's more thoughtful than your average MC of the style.…”
