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 69.2/100, a mean average of 68.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 68.0/100. The standard deviation for this album is 17.0.

Outdated and poppy by 1968, Nothing especially wrong, but quite forgettable.
If you like the melodic sides of late 1960`s band like the Easybeats or Small Faces, you`re bound to like Grapefruit. Great melodic songs, often reminding me of the great ballads from the Easybeats "Vigil" album. In fact the main song-writer in Grapefruit was George Young`s elder brother George Alexander ( Alex Young ). The band never made really made it big, as they deserved; but they did have minor hits with "Dear Delilah" and "C`mon Marianne". These two tracks are not even among their best. Songs like "Lullaby", "Someday" and "Deep Water" had the potential of becoming real big hits. This unfortunately never happened.
Maybe their problem was that they did not have a high-profiled lead vocalist like Steve Marriot or Stevie Wright, and that some of the best tracks may be a little too heavily produced.
They released only two albums; both very good, but also very different.

Dear Delilah is a hidden gem from the sixties!! Should have been a big hit back in 68!!
