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 23% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 73.8/100, a mean average of 73.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 74.1/100. The standard deviation for this album is 16.3.

30 odd years on and I still hardly ever listen to this without stopping it at least once to play something over and ask myself "How did she do that?" or "How did she think of that?"

Avendo io scoperto ed amato "Ingenue" sono poi andato a ritroso alla ricerca di qualche altro suo disco precedente: "Ingenue" rimane inarrivabile, ma questo "Shadowland" si dimostra un signor disco, magari con qualche concessione di troppo ai lustrini…

This record blew me away the first time I heard it and I have been a big fan of Ms. Lang's music ever since. From beginning to end not a stinker on here.

KD's last remotely country album, before she explored other avenues. Her voice has never sounded better, and she's developing a different approach to her music. Ingenue is better, but this shows her growing as an artist.
