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 has a Bayesian average rating of 73.0/100, a mean average of 73.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 73.2/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.4.

Truly captures the Winter West...not so much the sound and feel of the Appalachian winter but the stark and bare qualities of a Rocky Mountain Christmas first snow.

Beautiful album throughout. Winston's unique interpretations of old standards are wonderful, as are his originals.

This album is a mood. Somber, reflective and melancholy.

i loved this album the first time i heard it playing on a cassette in someone's car. it ended up being the first CD i ever bought, several months before i actually had a CD player :-) i knew i was going to get one, though, and i really wanted to hear this album in CD-quality audio.

Lovely record. Not as creative as Autumn, but perfectly captures a meditative/melancholy side of the season.
