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 71.8/100, a mean average of 69.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 71.7/100. The standard deviation for this album is 16.4.

Fantastic start to the album but loses steam after the incredible rendition of “Dream A Little Dream Of Me”. Some of Mama Cass’s best performances are on here but not too much else in terms of quality from the others.

More cohesive than most of their albums. A little more psychedelic as well. Doesn't have their biggest hits, but doesn't have a weak track either (excusing the opener as flavor). Their best album. Meditation Mama is a standout.
