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 4% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 76.6/100, a mean average of 76.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 77.6/100. The standard deviation for this album is 16.8.

Another album by Caetano with A Outra Banda da Terra, released during a period he describes as the best of his life. Some of the songs are pop-orientend, but most are folkier. A few hits/classics here: "Lua De São Jorge", "Beleza Pura", "Menino do Rio" (theme of a feature film with the same name), "Trilhos Urbanos" and, the best of all, "Cajuína", a touching hommage to a friend of his, poet Torquato Neto, who had killed himself a few years earlier.

His most famous catchy songs are here. But surely not one of his best, a little made-to-sell.
