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 70.9/100, a mean average of 68.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 70.5/100. The standard deviation for this album is 17.6.

Interesting concept. Side one ("Now") is original songs including 'Sing' and 'Masquerade' (also 'Jambalaya'). Side two ("Then") begins with 'Yesterday Once More', a song about how great the old songs were. Then, there's a medley of those old songs separated by Richard Carpenter doing his Radio DJ shtick. It fades out on reprise of 'Yesterday Once More'.
