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).

A perfect example of what makes Ween one of the all time greats. This is a brilliant, brilliant country song; one of the best you'll ever hear. But if you weren't already aware, you'd never know it was Ween. You'd just assume it was by a strictly country artist, somebody who'd honed their craft for years and years.
They didn't just dabble in multiple genres, they surpassed them. (Edited)
