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 5% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 75.9/100, a mean average of 77.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 77.6/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.8.

It takes a little while, but The Golden Echo def burns brighter with each re-listen. Kimbra's one of the more clever and subtle genre-stylists in the mainstream these days- The Golden Echo plays off 90s rb, 80s new romantic, turn of the millenium bubblegum pop, classic 60s soul singers and grand, orchestral, broadway-style show-stoppers. A bit too indulgent and overstretched as a whole, but lots of delectable surprises to be found throughout.
