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 4% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 76.7/100, a mean average of 76.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 76.9/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.7.

VictorValeNot as brilliant as her first three albums but still a decent record. Her fourth best album.

Average electronic/baroque rock/pop album. I'm not really getting to like this, sounds too experimentally/strange. Only good song is dance-pop song "Raspberry swirl" 85/100.
Bach 10/01/2013 21:06 | #87351
Best tracks: Jackie's Strength, Raspberry Swirl, Spark, Hotel.

Much better than Boys for Pele. The songs are great and the alt-electronic sounds are completely welcome.
