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 73.0/100, a mean average of 73.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 73.2/100. The standard deviation for this album is 9.6.

sempre ottimo per la critica (e per me), non mi capacito del fatto che venda pochissimo... è strano il mondo...

Sort of rock operetta, delicious in its constant mutation. It's a pity that all these music changes rarely bring to moment widely GREAT (like the chorus in the third track). That's why I think this second album is as good as his first one, yes, but not equally "memorable".
