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 71.9/100, a mean average of 71.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 71.6/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.2.

Un grande disco che mi spiace di aver scoperto tardi. "Reflections" è un disco di poesie ma non un album di reading poetry; la musica ne ha una parte fondamentale, non è mai al servizio delle liriche ( con la parziale eccezione della conclusiva "B movie" ) . Ed è una musica ricchissima di influenze: tanta musica nera ma soprattutto il jazz, poi il soul, il funky ed anche il reggae.
