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 4% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 76.5/100, a mean average of 74.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 76.7/100. The standard deviation for this album is 16.9.

I bet that my score would improve after repeated listens. But just now I have to move on to next album. Slow burning stuff.

Una maravilla. Escucharlo es emprender un viaje de mochilero junto con Manu. Se siente ese viaje, hermano.

It's incredible that this album was released more than 20 years ago. Both refugees and climate change themes are so well addressed for this 2019. The blend of musical styles in this concept album is also to praise. It's a pity that the middle part is weaker.

For the first few songs, I thought this was completely great. It might have worn out its welcome after a while, but still a nice surprise overall.
