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 73.0/100, a mean average of 73.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 73.4/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.0.

Lover and Friend is one of the most glorious songs ever created. All around a beautiful and emotive album.

What a futuristic soul masterpiece. "I'm a woman" sounds like nothing in Disco I ever heard before or since. (There is a good Theo Parrish version out anyway.) And the hearfelt songs touch the heart. When David Bowies last album came out, I thought of Minnies "Memory lane" again, how she says goodbye to the world, to life and her love.
