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 71.7/100, a mean average of 70.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 71.6/100. The standard deviation for this album is 19.1.

The evolution of Norah Jones as an artist really is incredible. She started in the jazz/singer-songwriter genre and has dabbled in a new genre with every album: folk, country, blues, indie, alternative rock, pop, and back to jazz again in that exact order. The Fall is perhaps her most interesting album as it's the first to move away from her roots. Indeed, this record is a pleasure to listen to from beginning to end and demonstrates just how underrated her output really is. Norah is class songwriter lyrically, musically and vocally - this is a showcase.
