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 is rated in the top 17% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 74.2/100, a mean average of 73.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 74.5/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.3.

A very underrated album from Leonard Cohen, this appears to be his only studio album that did not chart here in the UK.
This was a return to a more gentle sound than the previous collaboration with Phil Spector produced. The Traitor and the Ballad Of The Absent Mare are real highlights here, but also The Window, Came So Far For Beauty and The Gypsy's Wife all deserve a mention.
