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)

Seems like it would be a dream combination - and the truth is - It IS a dream combination! Morrison has never sounded more comfortable and the band has never sounded more capable. A Masterpiece of Celtic traditional music.
My favorite songs : Marie's wedding.....Celtic ray.....Irish heartbeat.....My lagan love....Raglan road
