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 7% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 75.5/100, a mean average of 75.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 76.0/100. The standard deviation for this album is 11.7.

The most European thing you'll ever hear. I love it; it perfectly mixes pop and downtempo, in the same way Air mixed vocal jazz with downtempo.

So underrated, but a great album. You can get it for a very good price in the limited edition with 5 extra tracks.
