Gospel Train ratings

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 73.2/100, a mean average of 72.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 73.4/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.2.

“(For some reason the small pictures that I tend to prefer couldn't load properly so I guess I'll stop being a caveman and use the large artwork as everyone else instead) You are right, that’s an essential artist that simply can’t be ignored. I’ve heard of her multiple times in the past, I could…”

This lady is just fire.
Even though sometimes she exaggerates in a proto-The Voice way and the lyrics suffer with it, listening to her music is a worthy and intense experience.
