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 13% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 74.4/100, a mean average of 72.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 75.5/100. The standard deviation for this album is 16.3.

More than half of the tracks were written and sung by Milton Nascimento, and those are the highlights of this cult classic jazz record. It's very interesting to compare "Miracle of the Fishes" with its counterpart "Milagre dos Peixes", in the album of the same name (which is better than this one, by the way) released by Milton in the same year.
