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 5% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 75.8/100, a mean average of 74.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 76.6/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.6.

This a mandatory listen for everybody, especially fans of singer-songwriting and folk. Her voice is unique and kinda touching. Her early death was a very sad thing...
Sandy Denny's debutalbum is a quality collection of intimate songs with a melancholic mood. Her voice is crystal clear and few ladies were in her league at the time. Folk was never better than this
