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 part of my top 100 which you can check out if you like. With my taste of music lying in the harder genres like hardrock and indie, you wouldn't expect me to like a band like Steely Dan but I do, I do, I do. This is just a so fantastic mixture of laid back jazz and good song writing.
