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 9% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 74.9/100, a mean average of 77.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 77.5/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.6.

A sophisticated, classic children's record. It's an adaptation of the Brothers Grimm's fable "Town Musicians of Bremen". It's marxist and revolutionary, which is stunning, since it was released during the rule of a murderous far-right military dictatorship. Music and lyrics are amazing.

A beautiful work of art. I wish all children in the world could be exposed to this and understand its message.
