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 has a Bayesian average rating of 72.3/100, a mean average of 71.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 72.3/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.8.

Roy Orbison has always been one of my favorite artists of the 60's, and this album is one of my three favorites (the other two being "Crying" and "Mystery Girl"). It's easy for anyone to see how Roy became such an icon to so many. He was so inept at his craft of singing and songwriting, that he fit right in with the iconic artists of his time.
