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 78.9/100, a mean average of 83.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 83.3/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.6.

Listening to this, it's hard to believe that you quite easily describe The Elder Scrolls V purely as a 'video game'. Its sheer breadth, from the quaintest of tavern songs to the grandest of sweeping pieces, excels that of any film or TV show from even the very best composers.
Soule conveys the weight, ancient history and gorgeous landscape of Skyrim, in what is an utterly immersive soundtrack. You spend more time with goosebumps than you do without.
Unbelievable soundtrack. Great to listen to any time - particularly complements a fantasy novel series e.g. Wheel of Time.
Would recommend all of Soule's Elder Scrolls work.
