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 75.6/100, a mean average of 75.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 76.7/100. The standard deviation for this album is 9.9.

A great pop album. Much more accessible than Love Remains, though I can't decide whether that's a good thing or a bad thing. I'm actually shocked with how underappreciated it is on BEA. There have not been 314 better albums than this in 2012. Also, '& It Was U' might be my favourite song of the year.

decent album, but didn't meet my expectations after how incredible Love Remains was
Fantastic album!
