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 is rated in the top 16% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 74.1/100, a mean average of 71.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 75.0/100. The standard deviation for this album is 18.7.

"The long black veil" è un album riuscito, anche se spesso sembra ( anzi, è così… ) che siano i Chieftains a fare da supporto ai tanti pezzi da novanta coinvolti anziché il contrario. Non propriamente il mio genere preferito, ma un bel disco dal clima festoso.

Not-my-taste (irish) folk album. I don't like it. However I listened through to song 7 before switched off. Songs rating around 60-70/100. Album rating 65/100.
