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 charts can have several thousand ratings)

This chart has a Bayesian average rating of 84.4/100, a mean average of 81.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 84.0/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 15.8.

Fairly standard Rolling Stone like chart, plenty of quality here but not much variety. The PIL album was the only one that really piqued my interest.

Not that the albums aren't great but this is a very narrow spectrum of music
