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 79.2/100, a mean average of 78.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 79.8/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.3.

This is my favourite Microphones record. It's the showcase of the entire band's collective talents. Wish it wasn't so underrated, it and the Glow Pt. II are their equal pinnacles.

Criminally underrated Microphones record, It's really hard to see behind all experimental brutality, but if you listen closely, there is a beautiful melody that flourish in the middle of all this noise, and it's beautiful when you can hear this flower opening. Phil is at his best here and in Glow ptII
