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 69.1/100, a mean average of 68.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 68.1/100. The standard deviation for this album is 22.1.

If I could push a button and make one song famous and known to everyone, I think it might be The Rose Above The Sky, which is six minutes of pure beauty. I go way back with this album; it has some personal resonance with me, and I could see how some of it might not work for others. But that particular recording of that song is on a whole other level.

Still quality, still thoughtful, but not as complete as his best work.
