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 4% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 76.8/100, a mean average of 76.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 77.2/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.0.

Another fine collection of torch songs.
Nothing wrong with this record, but doesn't remotely reach the heights of I Am A Bird Now.

I really didn't like this at first. The music was great but Antony's voice made me cringe. Well, this album grew on me more with each listen. Follow-up: I have now also listened to I Am a Bird Now. All I can say is WOW!
