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 73.0/100, a mean average of 70.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 73.3/100. The standard deviation for this album is 18.9.

It has the typical spiritual/mystifying vibe that surrounds such albums, but at the same time showcases some diversity, balancing between intense, uplifting and relaxing.

This is pretty different from the African albums I’ve listened to. It doesn’t sit under the folk and pop umbrellas that tend to dominate. There are African instruments playing alongside European orchestral instruments. It’s a very ambitious (perhaps progressive) album, I even want to call it a concept album (?). Hard to say without understanding the language...
