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 1% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 86.2/100, a mean average of 82.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 87.1/100. The standard deviation for this album is 24.7.

People shouldn't say "this shouldn't be in the top 10 rated albums " , and then give it a 100/100 rating.

Agree with the comments that this should be considered an album and ranked this high. A lot of the albums in the box sets are already on the charts individually.

As a rule, I never include best of's / greatest hits or compilations. This is a great collection of music but it's not an album so shoulod really be on a website called Best Ever Albums. Just my pet peev.

Not really an album, its a collection. It shouldn't be in the top 10.

As said, this is not an album. It's a box set which consists of several albums. I really think that this so-called album should be deleted!
