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 9% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 75.2/100, a mean average of 74.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 75.9/100. The standard deviation for this album is 16.8.

Sono le leggere imperfezioni ( il bottleneck che batte sulla tastiera della chitarra, per dire… ) che mi fanno preferire "Into the purple valley" ad altri dischi successivi di Cooder perché lo rendono più vero, più vicino alla musica che vi è contenuta. "F.D.R. in Trinidad" e "Teardrops will fall" sono tra i miei brani preferiti di sempre e di chiunque.
