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 6% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 75.8/100, a mean average of 74.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 76.2/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.8.

You often hear discussions about whether a specific album is among the artist's best or weaker releases. In this case I won't go into such a discussion; just note that here you have a terrific voice, some great songs and a lot of atmosphere.
My favourite tracks are "Celtic Ray", "Northern Muse", "Cleaning Windows" and "Vanlose Stairway"

I absolutely love this album! I like every track, the playing by all of the musicians is fantastic. This is my second favorite album by Van the Man, right behind Astral Weeks.

Uno dei più bei dischi di Van Morrison ed uno dei miei preferiti. Gli ingredienti sono sempre gli stessi, solamente dosati meglio che in altre occasioni. La mano dell'autore è sempre presente, talmente personale da risultare riconoscibile pure nello strumentale finale.
