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 is rated in the top 2% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 77.8/100, a mean average of 77.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 79.2/100. The standard deviation for this album is 16.8.

Gil and Jorge are singulars. This is an album that every man on earth needs to listen. An afro masterpiece.
Two of the greatest Brazilian musicians of the 2nd half of the 20th century got together on studio with their guitars, a bass player and a percussionist and recorded long and improvised versions of some of their songs. This happy encounter generated this impromptu soulful masterpiece.
A wonderful album.
