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 7% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 75.6/100, a mean average of 76.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 76.3/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.6.

The best film scores help to expand what is on the screen, enhancing the drama, building tension, signifying story changes and conveying emotion.

But with Amadeus, that usage is taken to a far greater extent; the music itself becomes one of the core parts of the production, defining the character of Mozart and setting the pace for the entire. It becomes an expansion of Mozart and a tool to set the tone of different scenes, and in doing so becomes just as important as the actors on screen or the story.

Not only is it a good excuse to show off the genius of the man himself, conducted supremely well by Sir Neville Marriner and the St Martin In the Fields orchestra, it is perhaps the most memorable part of what is undoubtedly one of the best films ever made, which in itself is significant for its acting and attention to detail.

It's one thing to showcase the music of your main character, but its another thing for it to define a movie, and that's exactly what the Amadeus soundtrack does.
