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 23% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 73.9/100, a mean average of 74.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 74.7/100. The standard deviation for this album is 9.2.

On Frenzy, Split Enz transitioned into shorter songs, although they’re still self-consciously arty. The result is one of the group’s weaker albums, which is not helped by an unclear sound from inexperienced producer Mallory Earl, compounded by the decision to add previously recorded single ‘I See Red’ to the album, taking the first side of the LP past the optimum length for sound quality. It was surprising hearing the remixed version of ‘Stuff and Nonsense’ on the Spellbound compilation, where there was a gorgeous acoustic guitar part that was previously inaudible.
