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 72.5/100, a mean average of 71.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 72.6/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.0.

It's good that Ms. Phair is taking chances on her records. I think with a little more time in the studio she could have produced a better album. This record is very uneven with some great and not so great tracks.

Liz Phair has had an inconsistent career. Exile in Guyville was such a shot across the bow for the music industry and for female artists. Whip-Smart was dull and unfocused. He latest work reeks of misdirection and sell-out. On Whitechocolatespaceegg, Liz Phair feels confident enough to experiment, moving away from her first two albums, but she doesn't feel like she owes anyone anything. This album has its weak moments, but the peaks are monumental - Polyester Bride and Johnny Feelgood are among her best, and you can't argue with the rollicking tempo of Baby Got Going. Solid work by an inconsistent artist.
