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 has a Bayesian average rating of 73.3/100, a mean average of 73.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 73.4/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.2.

A completely underrated and overlooked album. 9, Damien Rice's follow up to the excellent, O, is every bit as good as that record. It's predominately an acoustic LP but this time Rice adds electric instruments on some tracks and the album has a more challenging sound to it. Some great songs here in, coconut skins, rootless tree, and, accidental babies. All the songs are great and why this record isn't more highly praised is a mystery.

"9 crimes" is impressive as song and the others ones do not disappoint as well.
