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 75.4/100, a mean average of 73.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 75.7/100. The standard deviation for this album is 18.3.

Wonderful performances, but somehow it was a fleeting thing and I didn't feel it had staying power with me, probably didn't connect as well because I don't speak French... then again, I connect just fine with Sigor Ros.

Tres Bien. I like the softer touch on this album, perhaps a reason for its popularity lies there.
