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 has a Bayesian average rating of 71.0/100, a mean average of 69.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 70.7/100. The standard deviation for this album is 20.5.

Los mejores discos de Dan Fogelberg son, en mi opinión, los más atípicos: un álbum semiinstrumental (Twin Sons...), otro de country (Old Ways) y este doble álbum repleto de grandes canciones.

Dan's most ambitious project, this is one of those rare doubles that has enough great material, and enough variety without sacrificing cohesiveness, to make it a good listen throughout.
