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 rated in the top 5% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 76.4/100, a mean average of 75.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 77.5/100. The standard deviation for this album is 17.8.

One of the best film scores ever.

A timeless piece of work. Hitchcock had originally wanted there to be no music played during the infamous "shower scene", thank God he changed his mind. Those shrieking violins manage to build considerable suspense and shock its audience. Without Herrmann's effort, I fear the film would have had far less of an impact. Even 56 years later, it remains a terrifyingly brilliant soundtrack that perfectly compliments a terrifyingly brilliant film.
