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 2% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 78.3/100, a mean average of 77.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 78.7/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.1.

For a long time I thought that no album or collection can come near OK computer.
Then came Misery is a butterfly and proved me as being wrong.

The greatest creations usually don’t require additional supportive comparison to shine.
The album is tribute to beauty and every moment in it is a masterpiece.

After I became familiar with Misery I started to suspect that the band’s members are not human being since a human can’t create such beautiful music out of rock/pop.

The first time that I saw Blonde Redhead they were the warm up band for Interpol I was afraid to die from heart attack.
