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 has a Bayesian average rating of 72.7/100, a mean average of 72.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 72.8/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.2.

Breathtaking... in an angels-holding-a-pillow-over-your-face kind of way.

Beautiful, quiet and lovely. Slow music to drift off or to daydream. Wonderful ambient.

Gorgeous. Just simply gorgeous. That’s what I kept thinking the entire way through this album. It’s so beautiful, and yet so powerful. When I think of the word “soundscapes”, this is the kind of music I think of, music that is so layered and textured that it seems to almost create something physical in your mind. It’s beautiful.

Beautiful. Like standing on top of a mountain and looking at a breathtaking view of the landscape.
