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 1% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 81.5/100, a mean average of 82.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 85.2/100. The standard deviation for this album is 17.1.

"The Dance of Solitude", one of Paulinho's greatest classics, if not his masterpiece.

A handful of his most well known songs are here (my favorite is the haunting "Meu Mundo É Hoje", one of samba's best lyrics), besides a version of Cartola's "Acontece" and the ironic "Falso Moralista", by Nelson Sargento. It ends with a heartfelt tribute to Paulo da Portela, one of samba's pioneers.

Sublime, beautiful work of art.
