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 2% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 77.8/100, a mean average of 80.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 80.2/100. The standard deviation for this album is 10.8.

Her voice is so majestic, and I love the tracks with the added electric guitar.

Yeah, it's really enchanting. Kind of makes you feel like you're falling asleep in a dark forest.

Her voice is definitely something else, and she has a lot of guitar power too. This album is full of well-crafted songs. I especially love "Bird on Your Grave" and it's beautiful utilization of electric guitar.
