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 71.2/100, a mean average of 70.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 70.4/100. The standard deviation for this album is 20.2.

Classic Jim Steinman (the guy who wrote the songs for Meatloaf, Bonnie Tyler, etc) here. This whole album is full of that glorious, over-the-top bombast that is Steinman. There are some interludes, some filler, and a curiously out-of-place cover of The Doors' 20th Century Fox, but the high points are absolutely essential. Key cuts include Original Sin, Safe Sex, Good Girls Go to Heaven, It's All Coming Back to Me Now (later covered into a hit by Celine Dion), It Just Won't Quit (my personal Favorite), and The Future Ain't What It Used to Be.
