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 72.7/100, a mean average of 71.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 72.8/100. The standard deviation for this album is 16.3.

My favorite is honestly Vince Guaraldi's A Charlie Brown Christmas but yeah, not exactly the season for it. As someone else mentioned, Erik Satie is a good choice, specifically the Gymnopédies. Also a good one: And this isn't a solo piano album as you can surmise by Louis Armstrong's name being…

This album compiles all the recordings from gospel singer Washington Phillips. What makes Phillips stand out is the stringed instrument he accompanies himself with. It's disputed what this is - on some tracks its a zither, but its thought on others it's a homemade instrument. Whatever it was, it…
