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 is rated in the top 14% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 74.3/100, a mean average of 75.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 75.6/100. The standard deviation for this album is 12.1.

Octogenarian trumpeter and former Brian Eno collaborator Jon Hassell shows he’s still got it on this thrumming, bustling work of electronic goodness. There are echoes of the original Fourth World mentality, particularly in some of the rhythm choices, but this feels like the start of a new manifesto, articulating to the latest generation of electro-nerds where our curiosities should take us next.
Fairly interesting, jazz influenced electronica. Ok to listen to but probably wouldn't go back
