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 has a Bayesian average rating of 72.9/100, a mean average of 72.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 73.0/100. The standard deviation for this album is 18.2.

Peel played this and it immediately struck a chord. I had no problem with the voice, but I know it took my wife a few listens and now she loves it too.

This album is excellent and very deep, but some people are turned off by his voice. I assure that if at first it annoys you just give it a chance and you will love it.

There was a time when i could not stand reggae, mostly because my best friend was a huge Marley fan. He would always listen to Bobs albums and talked about him like he was a god. That was a main reason why i started to get deeper into music.I started looking for better reggae albums than Marley ever did AND THIS IS ONE OF THEM!
