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 5% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 76.1/100, a mean average of 74.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 78.9/100. The standard deviation for this album is 21.2.

Thanks for the great description, just seen a vinyl copy in my local 2nd hand shop. I think i'll buy it, sounds great. Now bought and it is very good. Thanks again.

The albums starts with Alku, an abstract solo piano piece that immediately brings you into a a relaxing yet uneasy, strange mood. The song moves fast into Ensimmainen aamu, the 2nd track, an upbeat jazzy song with an extravagant clarinet solo reminiscing Zappa’s Son Of Mr. Green Genes. By the 3rd track the order has been restored to that of the opening track: slow - almost deathly-sounding - piano chords creeping aside of cello strings and an electric bass accenting the rhythm making room for more clarinet solos. The pace is picked up again with a folky melody playing towards the end of the track. Happiness at last…This is what ...ja nakee unta feels like, the 4th track; an upbeat, jazzy, danceable and funny folky song. Sekoilu seestyy, the 6th track, is an exquisite piece of music with an amazing guitar solo and a Fender Rhodes backing. The interchange of jazzy-folky themes and the interplay between slow and fast tempos continue throughout the album. Also, no lyrics throughout the album, which makes it easier to listen to it considering that Pekka is a Finn. All in all, this is a great find…
