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 76.5/100, a mean average of 77.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 77.3/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.6.

This albums has great songs by Andrés Calamaro, such as Flaca, Loco, Todo lo Demás and Media Verónica. Some other songs are just OK.

Amazing start, terrible ending. His style fluctuates all over the place and his tone wavers from serious to comical all the time in an unattractive way, but the songwriting itself is just way too good to ignore, as is usually the case with Calamaro. This has some of his best work, but also some of his worst.
