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 has a Bayesian average rating of 69.8/100, a mean average of 68.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 68.9/100. The standard deviation for this album is 21.3.

Well this was a lot of fun! It feels like lots of noises made with mouths. Or perhaps birds turned into people or bird people or something else as equally frigtening.

something different for your eardrums. This album is popular in BEA according to its ranking. Vocal acrobatics were seemingly popular in the 50s

Álbum mais complicado de uma artista já nada óbvia. Boa experimentação.
