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 has a Bayesian average rating of 71.6/100, a mean average of 70.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 71.5/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.1.

Sad to see this album currently so low compared to Beck's other works.. personally my favourite of his. I'll take lo-fi anti-folk over his bland brand of sad music constantly competing to be better than his Korgis cover.

More listenable than the first three albums, but still a little too individual for me to love...starting to see the Beck to be....the album finishes stronger than it begins.
