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 72.3/100, a mean average of 72.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 72.2/100. The standard deviation for this album is 12.0.

A really good Jazz Rap record. I'm surprised by how low this is rated. It's like a british A Tribe Called Quest meets Guru's Jazzmatazz. I could do without the 2 songs Tuka Yoot's Riddim and Eleven Long Years because of the Caribbean type of rapping but the music is still jazzy epic-ness so I can let it slide.
