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 1% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 81.2/100, a mean average of 81.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 82.7/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.8.

Yes I gave it a high rating, how can I not it's full of number 1 hits and the best of Wings and McCartney at the time of release. However, it's a compilation and the second problem is that it gives an impression that this is Wings Greatest hits which is not true. The same problem with Wingspan released years later. However, for a compilation of Sir McCartney's works during the 70's it's ideal. No real flaws and an entertaining listen.
