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 4% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 76.4/100, a mean average of 75.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 76.8/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.3.

Honestly an amazing album, "Everybodys talking" is fantastic and Nilssons own song writing was at a peak here. "My old desk" is great and so is "bath". "One" is a stand out and given the popularity of "one" and "everybodys talking" im surprised this album is so over looked. Its perhaps one of the most overlooked albums of all time. A fantastic, well flowing listen. Full of charm, character and experimentation.
