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 80.9/100, a mean average of 85.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 85.0/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.0.

Virtuoso indeed, but in one sitting this album becomes a bit repetitive in tone and feel. In small portions, this is just amazing

A virtuoso tour-de-force. The only weakness of the album is Pass's less than Bluesy interpretations on some songs that require a change of style. Obviously, no one can argue with his amazing technique, but there is a little subtlety lost on a few of the tracks. Overall, 9/10!
