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 73.4/100, a mean average of 72.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 73.5/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.5.

Pentangle is almost a unique band that uses a subtle palette of elements, tones, and modes from all possible genres of music: jazz, folk, blues, and medieval. The instruments used are acoustic, but that makes this is moody and solemn experience.

Just sit and listen. It will take your mindset to different places.

Awesome folk/jazz. These guys can play the shit out their instruments. It's really something when they let loose.
