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 17% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 74.0/100, a mean average of 74.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 74.5/100. The standard deviation for this album is 10.9.

"Banga" è un buon disco, con belle canzoni, un bel suono, con l'ospite Tom Verlaine che a mio avviso sparge la sua influenza anche oltre i due pezzi in cui suona...
Patti Smith's best album for ages. It's a lovely album and if it was recorded in the seventies it would probably be looked upon a classic. A nice cover of Neil Young's, after the gold rush, too. A good underrated album.
