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 73.4/100, a mean average of 72.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 73.6/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.6.

Van the Man released a few good albums late in his career, this being one of them. This was originally in my top 10 of 1999, during a big Van phase I was going through, before I got a bit bored with the annual barrage of Van Morrison records.
This one is solid throughout, and closes with one of my favorite Van tracks: "Golden Autumn Day."
