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 5% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 76.5/100, a mean average of 77.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 77.2/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.0.

Gil's 5th record is his 1st released after his return to Brazil: he was politically exiled in London for almost 3 years by the then ruling military dictatorship.

It's an upbeat record, with his trademark style of playing guitar and smart, funny and beautiful lyrics. There are a few covers, but the highlights are his original compositions, specially "Back in Bahia", "Oriente" and the title track.

Expresso 2222 is one of the finest Brazilian albums. There is not a bad song on the album, and peaks like "O Canto Da Ema" and "Sai Do Sereno" make it great.
