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 has a Bayesian average rating of 67.3/100, a mean average of 63.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 65.5/100. The standard deviation for this album is 17.3.

In 2017 the old man Van Morrison recruited another old man, guitar slinger Jeff Beck, to help out on his record called "Roll With The Punches" and the pair along with vocalist Chris Farlowe bring 15 tracks (some more familiar than others) to life. Van sounds as young as on his 60s albums and Beck still has the signature fiery solos. A real treasure. Find it when you can and press play - you won't want to take it off ever again.
