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 2% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 79.2/100, a mean average of 79.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 79.9/100. The standard deviation for this album is 16.4.

Shortlisted for album of the year at the 1978 Grammys. The winner was Rumours by Fleetwood Mac
The Star Wars soundtrack, composed by John Williams, is one of the most iconic and influential film scores in cinematic history. Performed by the London Symphony Orchestra, the album features a blend of classical and contemporary orchestral music that perfectly captures the epic and adventurous spirit of George Lucas’ space opera. The main title theme, with its bold brass fanfare, has become synonymous with the Star Wars franchise and is instantly recognizable worldwide. The soundtrack includes other memorable pieces such as Imperial Attack, Princess Leia’s Theme, and The Throne Room and End Title, each contributing to the film’s emotional and narrative depth. The album’s success was unprecedented, earning Williams an Academy Award, a Golden Globe, and several Grammy Awards.
Analyzing the Star Wars soundtrack, one can appreciate how Williams’s compositions enhance the film’s storytelling and character development. The use of leitmotifs, or recurring musical themes associated with specific characters or ideas, is a hallmark of Williams’ work. The orchestration of the music creates a rich, immersive experience that transports listeners to the galaxy far, far away.
Made the franchise.
Great movie and music that was integral to my childhood!

For me, this is more of a video game soundtrack than a movie soundtrack, just because I used to play Lego Stars Wars constantly. Ah, good times
A classic soundtrack composed by a master of the genre.

How can you argue with the cantina band.
