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 is rated in the top 1% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 81.0/100, a mean average of 81.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 81.8/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.4.

The late 60s were such a vibrant time for Brazilian music! I'm glad this album was made as to capture the magic of the tropicália scene.

Álbum símbolo do movimento tropicalista, a onda psicodélica brasileira que não deixa nada a dever a qualquer outra no mundo. Mudou a música brasileira como nenhuma outra!

Interesting document, but as an album, it works less well than Caetano's and Os Mutantes' from the same year. Some very good moments though.
