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 22% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 73.7/100, a mean average of 72.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 73.8/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.6.

This album feels like it is just there in my opinion, it is neither good nor bad. The rhythms just don't captivate you as much as you would think a dance album would do. I find myself struggling to even bop my head along to some of the songs. It is a little slow in places as well and does drag even for quite a short record. However, the percussion is a real highlight for me and I am a big fan of the timbales. A few songs are great as well such as the opener which has a fantastic groove. Overall, a bit disappointed in this record as I expected a little more life in the music and it is quite average.

As the name implies, this is a dance album (think Salsa, tango, etc.)As the artist's name implies, it is a dance album with a Latin American flavor. If this doesn't interest you, chances are you won't like it. But, if you like to broaden your horizons just a bit, I recommend you give it a try. It holds up well and is a helluva lot of fun.
