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 6% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 75.6/100, a mean average of 75.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 76.2/100. The standard deviation for this album is 12.0.

I hope that this disc is just the beginning of this merger world / ethno / tradition / electro / dance ... it's a pleasurable music, tribal, and so modern. it stays in the head and it's forever ... I wait impatiently result, I expect the other bands, I expect the next disks Mbongwana Star in stamping.
