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 2% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 78.2/100, a mean average of 77.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 78.5/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.7.

I discovered this record by going through the most recent Rolling Stone Top 500 albums list and it was one of my more pleasant surprises in a while.

El Mal Querer is a really successfully ambitious record. The best moments on these tracks mirror the album’s glowing, shimmering cover.

A consistently solid and engaging project with a run-time that makes it breeze by while still being able to deliver a narrative both musically and lyrically.

Original mezcla de pop-rap-flamenco sobre la base de relaciones amorosas tóxicas.

Good concept, but only a few of these tracks live up to the flamenco pop aspirations of the idea.

If this was more well known, it would be top 10 in 2018, easily. Rosalía struck gold with this flamenco-trap/pop style and the way it allowed her to bring a beautiful, traditional story into the modern world of synths and industrial sounds.

This album will (or at least should) mark a before and after in Spanish music.
