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 3% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 77.0/100, a mean average of 80.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 80.8/100. The standard deviation for this album is 11.7.

"Vulture", the 9th album by Tom Jobim, brings tracks with vocals on the A side and instrumentals on the B side, with orchestrations by Claus Ogerman, who's also the producer. Another nice demonstration of his post-bossa nova work. The only thing that brings the record down is Tom's voice; he wasn't a singer...
