Rating metrics:
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 charts can have several thousand ratings)
This chart has a Bayesian average rating of 80.4/100, a mean average of 76.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 75.8/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 7.5.

Love all the grunge, Zeppelin, & Floyd. Just not too big on Radiohead or the Stones or I would've rated higher. Despite that still a very good chart here.
