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 76.0/100, a mean average of 74.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 76.7/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.7.

Easily the funnest, most demented & illest trip hop album ever made. Viva! La Woman Is to trip hop what Paul Boutique was to rap. A breath of fresh air.

Il mio disco preferito del 1996 fu questo esordio freschissimo, pieno di creatività, vitale delle Cibo Matto, due giapponesi con base a New York. Solo da quella città poteva in effetti arrivare questo insieme frenetico ma non caotico di hip-hop e tocco nipponico, improvvise esplosioni quasi punk ed eteree melodie morriconiane, suoni campionati e strumenti suonati; la scusa del progetto, poi, è il cibo e, fin dal nome del gruppo, sono molti i riferimenti all'Italia.
