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 3% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 77.6/100, a mean average of 81.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 81.4/100. The standard deviation for this album is 11.7.

If I were voting today this would be my list: India Nigeria Jamaica Brazil Latin Spain Latin Jamaica Mali Nigeria Hard to avoid comps with this umbrella genre, but I managed. EDIT: Added Slaves Mass, Heart of the Congos, removed New Tones, Red.

An instrumental classic by the musician from Alagoas. Very sophisticated, jazzy take on Brazilian folk music. (Edited)

Esto es impresionante. Independientemente de su enorme calidad musical, he disfrutado enormemente de este álbum. No hay cosa en él que no me guste.
Una obra maestra que, pienso yo, debería ser más conocida. (Edited)
