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 68.2/100, a mean average of 66.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 66.1/100. The standard deviation for this album is 17.2.

John Denver's best studio album. It has a magic to it that will lull you into a trans. Especially the slower songs like Song of Wyoming, Cowboys Delight, Windsong. The very best production of any of his albums. His voice is at it's best. The other best album is An Evening with John Denver. If you're buying or trying to listen to John Denver for the first time these two albums are a must.
