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 70.6/100, a mean average of 70.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 70.2/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.1.

Sounds like Graceland without Paul Simon's amazing instrumentation. This sort of a cappella style music never appealed to me, but I can stand this.
Favorite Tracks:Unomathemba, Hello My Baby, Lomhlaba Kawunoni, Yibo Labo, Rain Rain Beautiful Rain, Wawusho Kubani?
This album is in need of some African instruments. The producer Paul Simon should have noticed that.
