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 is rated in the top 18% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 73.9/100, a mean average of 74.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 74.2/100. The standard deviation for this album is 10.6.

A simple recipe for a successful adult contemporary album, pick great and famous melodies and turn them into instrumentals with a Latin twist. Easy but fun.
Bangers: Tijuana Taxi, Spanish Flea, Zorba,
This kind on music was a recipe for success during the mid-sixties

Almost forgotten Herb Alpert. Fun arrangements, smart production and a good time record. Great listen for a drive in a convertible on a sunny day.
