Rating metrics: Help 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 has a Bayesian average rating of 72.4/100, a mean average of 71.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 72.4/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.3.

Another great album from Jens, easily on a par with his last offering, even if not quite as thrillingly uplifting and beautiful as his first two records. Interesting arrangements and unconventional song structures make his already great songwriting even more compelling.

Nothing here really excited me or made me feel like I was hearing anything new and creative. Still, it'll please fans of the genre. I might revisit it sometime.
