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 68.9/100, a mean average of 66.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 68.2/100. The standard deviation for this album is 20.3.

This is a delightful album, full of re-interpreted standards and original compositions, sung by one of the most unique vocalists of our time and tied together with a groovy jazz backing. The wandering bass and splattered piano add a feeling of improvisation to proceedings, which is bolstered by Björk's scat-like singing. This is exacerbated by the fact that it's in Icelandic, and so sounds otherworldly anyway. There are a few numbers which don't hit the spot as well as others, but the highlights are plentiful. Definitely one to seek out, whether you're a fan of vocal jazz or of Björk, or are just a music lover looking for something a bit different.
