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 73.6/100, a mean average of 73.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 73.9/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.6.

Ngl, my favorite aspect of this album is the fact that within two years David Sylvian would be a Bryan Ferry imitator (albeit a fantastic one) and in five years he'd put out "Forbidden Colours." But for now he's doing alt-glam/funk and it's awesome.

Heavily influenced by 'New York Dolls', this is different from the usual Japan sound - more glam rock, proto-punk.
