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 11% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 74.6/100, a mean average of 73.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 75.0/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.9.

Actually agree entirely with the previous comment. One of the few things this album has going against it on a consistent basis is the gaudy and dated orchestration.

Interesting case here with this being Minnie’s highest placing album on the site, but Perfect Angel (in my view, the somewhat concretely stronger of the two) sits 4 points higher in score yet a thousand records behind in the overall chart.

Good album, not better than Perfect Angel.

Sounds a bit too overproduced. The big orchestrations take away the soulfulness.
