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 8% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 75.0/100, a mean average of 74.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 75.3/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.2.

A less interesting step forward from Sunshine Superman. A few of the cuts attempt to capture the previously-mentioned album's sound but none quite do. Most of the songs sound dispassionate to me. The record's eponymous single is the best on the album by a decent margin. Donovan is still comes off as a cool guy even if the record isn't that great. (Edited)

Una mezcla entre Psicodelia, Jazz y Pop, un buen disco en general que vale la pena escuchar.
