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 albums can have several thousand ratings)

This album is rated in the top 4% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 76.8/100, a mean average of 77.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 77.8/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.6.

Sparks have a history of not being known to the masses despite their genius, and this album takes the top of the chart as 'the best album no one knows of'. maybe it's just too smart for most people? A true work of genius, as the name dropped title suggests.

I like kimono my house and propaganda, but this is not as good. It has some nice moments, but at times it sounds like a sound track for a stage musical.
