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 77.9/100, a mean average of 78.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 79.5/100. The standard deviation for this album is 12.7.

I am by no means a big jazz fan, but someone bought this for me as a gift. It's jazz with a very unique and delightful sound. There must be some unique instruments involved, I am not certain which. I've found myself playing this a lot.
