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 11% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 74.7/100, a mean average of 73.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 75.2/100. The standard deviation for this album is 17.6.

I saw laurie in concert twice but this album actually captures the concert better than the actually concert, because there was so much going on on stage that I was a little distracted from the music. I still listen to this album and I always find something new that I hadn't heard before. The track about the Finnish farmers is my fav on this album. The "Mister Heartbreak" album is also good if you are into Laurie. Check out "Ramon" from "Strange Angels" or "White Lily" from "Home of the Brave"
