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 64.6/100, a mean average of 63.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 63.3/100. The standard deviation for this album is 24.4.

Talented singing that doesn't save the poor, poor songwriting.

Mariah might over do it a bit on melisma and her choirs, but this is still easily one of the best Christmas albums around. She's great at just slowly letting a song grow(Born On This Day, O Holy Night,Hark!). And that three song stretch of All I Want For Christmas Is You -> O Holy Night -> Christmas (Baby Please Come Home) is amazing, three 10/10, tour de forces right after each other. I'm not a big fan of all the religious songs, but more power to people who are moved by them. They just aren't as good at gripping me lyrically/thematically.

"All I Want For Christmas" is amazing, and "Hark!" is quite nice, but in general the album is over-sung and over-produced.

Certainly one of the best Christmas albums out there.
