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 73.3/100, a mean average of 71.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 73.5/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.4.

I guess this serves as a good and accessible introduction to bossanova through some classics, but that's all, nothing too adventurous or exciting, rather safe and predictable.

I really like the simple guitar and comping. The voice makes the whole thing. And yea, you can't compare them to the originals; they are their own thing.

When I listen to this album, I try to think that these rock classics would not exist, but Bossanova has been in existence before Joy Division, Depeche Mode and Cure.
