Rating metrics: Help 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 3% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 77.6/100, a mean average of 79.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 79.4/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.6.

I haven’t enjoyed the last couple of Lu’s albums that much but this is back to form for one of the great songwriters of the last 50 years. Blistering stuff

I love the music of Lucinda over thirty years. The last albums I enjoyed the music but got irritated by her voice. On this album voice and music are very good and a couple of songs are very good. And as always the lyrics are outstanding.
By the way: this comment is not AI, but from someone who is not used to write in English.
