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 81.0/100, a mean average of 78.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 81.4/100. The standard deviation for this album is 20.7.

Very nice compilation with 2 new great tracks - superhit 'Justify My Love' and unfortunately, so criminally underrated 'Rescue Me'. Also, I love new version of 'Like A Prayer'
