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 71.0/100, a mean average of 70.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 70.6/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.7.

“Very strong, if unspectacular jazz record. It's amazing the kind of music Miles put out just to fulfill contract obligations - would be the highlight of many musicians' careers! 4/5 Wow - this was so much better than I expected. Beautiful songwriting, vocals, and instrumentation on most songs. 4/5…”

If I had to spend my last days floating in space all alone. I would have listen to this album on repeat.
Easy 5 stars and unbelievably unique for 50s Doo Wop.
Can't believe it is so underrated (Edited)

Wanna know why the 50s is one of my favorite decades for music? Throw in some Sinatra and call it a day.
