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 has a Bayesian average rating of 71.6/100, a mean average of 70.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 71.5/100. The standard deviation for this album is 18.2.

Excelente compilado do Woody!
A great recording from an important folk singer that lived his songs.
Solid fair from a folk legend.
A good album from a folk music legend. So Long and Dust Can't Kill Me are the highlights for me.
