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 has a Bayesian average rating of 67.6/100, a mean average of 65.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 65.8/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.5.

He's not a great singer but man he had style. Mr. Astaire introduced a lot of classic songs which makes this collection a must listen for any musical movie buff.
A nice testamente to the great Fred Astaire, but it's awfully too long and with some unnecessary parts.
Lots of standards that have been performed better....Dude needs to stick to movies and dancing.
