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 72.8/100, a mean average of 72.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 72.9/100. The standard deviation for this album is 19.5.

Yma Sumac (VotX - PER - Oct 50) - Voice Of The Xtabay
14.10.1950
Essential Peruvian soprano. Incaredible - think Nobby Solano en Boca, Nazca Blue Lines, and other cliches. The first three tracks are incredible and the album improves with every listen.

2.Yma Sumac (VotX - PER - Oct 50) - Lure Of The Unknown Love (Xtabay). 92
3.Yma Sumac (VotX - PER - Oct 50) - High Andes! (Ataypura!). 91
4.Yma Sumac (VotX - PER - Oct 50) - Monkeys (Monos). 72
5.Yma Sumac (VotX - PER - Oct 50) - Chant Of The Chosen Maidens (Accla Taqui). 81

Very entertaining exotica album ... very rich in its instruments, that lay the ground for Yma's insanely, out of this world good vocals!
