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 72.9/100, a mean average of 71.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 73.1/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.6.

His previous albums were much better but "Human Wheels" is still one of my favourite Mellencamp songs. Other highlights are "Suzanne And The Jewels" and "What If I Came Knocking" (album rating: 58,50 %)

Very good album. Best 10 songs average is 88,8/100 and the album can get very good 90/100. Best songs are "Human Wheels" and "Sweet evening breeze" both 95/100, followed by "Beige to beige" 90/100. All other songs good 80-85/100. Favourite!

Jesus is a change in course but the rest is late career JCM crooning away.
