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 76.2/100, a mean average of 78.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 78.9/100. The standard deviation for this album is 12.3.

A jam session recorded in London, made for the external (meaning non-Brazilian) market. Very different versions for some of his classics, with a less Brazilian groove and a weird female chorus with a foreign accent. One of these records made for finalizing a contract, it's a rare curio, not fundamental in Jorge's long discography. Still, this is Jorge Ben, so very well worth a listen.
