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 artists can have several thousand ratings)

In addition to being a pleasure to listen to, Loreena McKennitt is exceptionally talented. She is a musical scholar who researches intently before bringing her stories to the studio. She can meld disparate styles into a unique, coherent and beautiful whole. She writes lyrics, music, leads her ensemble, and is accomplished on a number of instruments, not the least of which is her angelic voice.
