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 has a Bayesian average rating of 72.2/100, a mean average of 71.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 72.2/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.2.

When I am in the mood for classical meets fusion jazz I really enjoy this. The Girl in the Magnesium Dress would fit as the backing for a horror movie and is a tough listen. The grand piano piece 'Ruth is Sleeping' is a favourite classical/jazz cross which is actually extremely difficult to play although it may not sound so. For me though the album comes alive with last four tracks finishing with the upbeat masterpiece 'G Spot Tornado'
