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 9% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 75.2/100, a mean average of 74.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 75.6/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.7.

"Simple songs" è un disco grandioso, con ottime canzoni che non si perdono mai in arzigogoli di troppo, con suono e produzione eccellenti ( e ci mancherebbe… ) e che possiede quella profondità che manca a tanta musica dei giorni nostri…

O'Rourke is like an abstract painter that only focuses on surreal realism. The amount of talent on here can be dissected evenly between the exquisite lyrics & application to the musicality.
