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 81.6/100, a mean average of 79.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 79.2/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 15.1.

An album that just came out this year is your all time number one? I've heard others on here say it's a good album, but I didn't know it was that good!

I happen to like how eclectic your chat is, thank you. It's not that funny, it's actually pretty cool. You should take a a look at mine. Oh and Beach House is amazing.
