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 3% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 77.5/100, a mean average of 77.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 77.9/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.6.

It's subdued, introspective, jazzy, perhaps even "sedate," almost a callback to the Beatnik Era, complete with the dingy 50's kitchen curtain and the stained coffee mug going cold on the side table as you chain-smoked Turkish cigarettes, the sort of album you probably wouldn't put on for your girlfriend but maybe, just maybe your girlfriend's friends while your girlfriend was out of town, a kind of stream-of-consciousness swaying-back-and-forth with theremins-not-theremins, horns and flutes, and you couldn't understand the lyrics because the singer's voice dripped with such pretentious affectation you almost couldn't distinguish it from yet another instrument, but above that there seemed to be an infinite sadness to it all, a feeling of resignation that didn't require understanding, just a realization that the universe is both infinite and infinitely empty, never to be truly comprehended. So basically, not a bad album if you're into this sort of thing.
