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 23% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 73.5/100, a mean average of 72.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 73.7/100. The standard deviation for this album is 16.8.

Il flusso di emozioni di "Astral weeks" ritorna dopo quasi vent'anni in questo disco che credo si possa considerare come l'ultimo capolavoro di Van Morrison.
My favourite songs : Thanks for information.....Tir na nog....In the garden.....Town called paradise

It's good...but, it seems to re-tread the same old areas.

Might be more appreciated if Van hadn't already made so many albums quite a bit like it... and only a touch edgier.
Back to astral weeks but in an eighties vm style and with a bit more structures.
