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 4% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 76.2/100, a mean average of 75.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 76.9/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.4.

OK
An almost forgotten record from an almost forgotten band. Lovely voices, great songs and arrangements. Not for fans of their more progressive folk stuff however. This is pretty straight forward folk.

As straight ahead folk as they ever got. Absolutely lovely stuff. Sit down with a nice malt when everyone is in bed and chuck this on. Anyone into sny sort of folk needs to hear it.
