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 1% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 79.8/100, a mean average of 79.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 80.3/100. The standard deviation for this album is 12.4.

Introduced the new era of soundtracks. Whether you like his movies or not, Quentin Tarantino is just brilliant with his use of music in movies.

Brought back the soundtrack as an art form, rather than a mish-mash of hit music. Fits the movie well, and stands up on its own.

No matter what you think about his movies, you have to admit, Quentin Tarantino has exquisite taste in music. When he releases a film, there is always a soundtrack with tons of great songs you’ve never heard on it to go along with it. My personal favorite is the Death Proof soundtrack. April March’s “Chick Habit” over the closing credits was gold. But the Pulp Fiction soundtrack is where it all started. Al Green, Kool & The Gang, Dusty Springfield, an indie rock Neil Diamond cover. It’s all pretty damn great.

I love this soundtrack and I love the film. A funky start with Al Green and then the melodic Dusty Springfield and Ricky Nelson, the groovy Kool and the Gang and the Tornadoes. If there was an Oscar for best Soundtrack I am sure this would have won hands down.

Not a great album in the simplest sense, but it is a great collection of songs for on-the-go. You can't help but love it when you listen; whether you're careening through town late at night or merely commuting to work. The surf tunes are the highlights.
