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 12% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 74.7/100, a mean average of 75.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 75.6/100. The standard deviation for this album is 10.7.

Into the Valley and The Saints are Coming are the well known singles from this album, but my favourite is the title track. Underrated.

It is strange that despite them being from just down the road in Fife and Into the Valley being such a great song, I hadn't listened to this album. After listening, it doesn't stand the test of time too well. It sounds dated in places and apart from Into the Valley, the songs are not that strong.
