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 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 82.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 82.3/100. The standard deviation for this album is 7.7.

The last and my least favourite of the "Re trilogy", it goes deeper into the pop sound that would be more prevalent in the 1980s. The songs aren't bad (lyrics are great as usual), but the arrangements aged badly; a few classics here, but the main draw is the Portuguese version for Bob Marley's "No Woman No Cry".

Grande álbum do fim da década do Gil. O instrumental é doente de bom.
