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 72.1/100, a mean average of 72.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 72.0/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.3.

Marc Bolan made 12 studio albums between 1968-77 Unicorn was the 3rd. This was the last album he made with Steve Peregrin Took and the second last as Tyrannosaurus Rex. Overall it is a good album but not, in my opinion, as good as his first two albums ( My People... & Prophets...). It doesn't seem to have stood the test of time as well and the 16 tracks are a few too many. His next album Beard Of Stars was a big step forward.
