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.

cheers. I'd like to put the kinks higher but noticed that they werent that liked on this site so ive just kept them pretty low for the time being, I personally think that album is top 8 material. ill probably shift a couple others up and down in time aswell

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.
