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 has a Bayesian average rating of 72.2/100, a mean average of 70.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 72.2/100. The standard deviation for this album is 11.8.

“And then my favorite Prince album which is not a Prince album. I like Prince but never for a whole album but I think he was at his best when these two ladies, Wendy Melvoin and Lisa Coleman, were part of his band The Revolution from 1984 to 1986 because they added a kind of psychedelic kind of funk…”

Re: Eroica

After two consecutive not-for-me entries, I was doubting finding more common ground.

After listening to the first cut here, that was becoming more apparent. Indie is one thing, but dance music? Ugh. The second cut, more of the same...
... but...
...at least the vocals were obviously a cut above the usual overprocessed artificiality usually endemic to such music. So I stuck with it despite the first two cuts being throwaways for me.

I'm glad I did, A number of later cuts showed some real imagination. Standard dance beats got groovy and funky, instrumentation got more interesting, and actual songwriting showed up.

Skeleton Key and Staring at the Sun were particularly good.
