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 69.5/100, a mean average of 68.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 68.8/100. The standard deviation for this album is 21.6.

This is the kind of album I can't really say anything about. It just exists and I either love it or hate it.

I don't listen to this album very often. I don't listen to it all the way through either. But the playfulness, innocence and savant like clarity of this album makes it very special. It may not even be music to some people, but there is a rawness and humanity that speaks volumes. Its like nothing else I've ever heard but I'm so glad that this music exists.
