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 74.2/100, a mean average of 75.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 75.0/100. The standard deviation for this album is 10.4.

Incrível mistura de Gal que canta com tristeza e saudades.
The 3rd solo LP of the great Brazilian singer. More acessible than its predecessor, with Lanny Gordin's psychedelic electric guitar giving it an international edge, even in folk classics like "Acauã". A gem released at the height of the latest military dictatorship, when her friends Gilberto Gil and Caetano Veloso were arrested and then exiled simply for being artists (there are 2 tracks of each in this record, including "London, London", a classic "exile blues" song).
