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 2% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 79.2/100, a mean average of 78.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 79.4/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.1.

Produced by Cat Power and Adam Kasper.
Very good album.On one side is minimal, but songs are indeed very intense and sometimes catchy.
cat power just kicks ass
I have in the mood to listen to this. Good, nothing remarkable
pure pieces of calming yet haunting beauty.
The beautiful album she not only could write but also needed to make
