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 is rated in the top 15% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 74.1/100, a mean average of 73.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 74.7/100. The standard deviation for this album is 18.0.

An album of two halves - Side One is the gorgeous Bernard Herrman soundtrack with extraordinary De Niro narration, it is an exhilirating sensuous experience. Highly recommended to jazzer muso's and jazz haters alike (if they like to get their melons twisted). Side Two however is Tom Scott (the MOR '70's session man)performing a kind of smooth jazz mush derived from the original charts, presumably. It is filler. Tom Scott's stuff is always nice, but a far less rewarding listen. The ideal thing would be if you somehow got a mispressing with half of Herbie Hancock's seminal 'Death Wish' score on Side Two instead. That would really cause long term psychological damage.
