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 79.2/100, a mean average of 78.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 79.7/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.8.

Consistent, track by track. No weak performances anywhere. All the instruments are working as one cohesive unit. Solos are strong and engaging. 9/10!

Delilah is a clear favorite here, but overall, this album is simply a good album. Nothing extraordinary.

Formula jazz, opening statement, everyone gets a solo, drum solo, repeat the opening and end. When this pattern started to play out in Parisian Thoroughfare I bailed. Nice and all but not very inventive.
