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 5% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 75.9/100, a mean average of 78.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 78.1/100. The standard deviation for this album is 10.4.

From Repo 01/12/2020 14:38 in You must listen to the album below you: canon edition
Although it does sound silly, this is a grounded and great album. David Pajo, of Slint and Tortoise fame, is in great form here with an instrumental album of post rock and slight American primitive guitar playing. Any fan of those genres or bands would enjoy this. Long overdue losten for a Tortoise…
