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 2% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 77.7/100, a mean average of 77.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 78.1/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.0.

A nice blend of late romantic classical music, jazz, and percussion. Very calming. 9/10.

-Gowi's AG Recs 1/23-

Not Avant-Garde quite in the sense I was looking for, but certainly a freaky sound for it's time. Feels like someone was asked to make a soundtrack album and these are the tracks the studio deemed "Too Weird" to fit the movie. I like it.
