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 72.9/100, a mean average of 73.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 73.2/100. The standard deviation for this album is 11.9.

The first and last songs form a circle making you want to listen to the album again From the top.
Some of Richard’s arrangements do make you want to puke in your own mouth and the album is definitely filed under guilty pleasure, but her voice. God her voice! It keeps you coming back for more and more.
I recommend running a hot bubbly bath, a few candles maybe, and stick this on. You can then put your head under water for Richard’s cringy bits.
