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 6% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 75.6/100, a mean average of 74.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 75.7/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.2.

Very pleasant easy-listening album. Perfect to put on while on a refreshing spring walk. My highlights are Alone In Kyoto, Universal Traveler and Surfing on a Rocket.

Even though it starts with a song called Venus, it seems to be a little more down to earth in comparison to Moon Safari and as a result has lost some of its dreamy, ethereal charm.
