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 72.3/100, a mean average of 68.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 72.1/100. The standard deviation for this album is 17.9.

The first two tracks sound like Dire Straits not taking themselves so seriously, track three a touch of REM about it, track 4's a bit shit (and I like cats!), track 5 has a Talking Heads rhythm to it (not such a high quality vocal). Side two starts off with a decent couple of tracks, then quite different sounding tracks 8 (American XTC) and 9 which i enjoy (although track 9 tales off a bit). Track 10 has a bit of a C&W fell and lyric. Bought on vinyl, cheap, because of the hit single (Track 1) and to be fair that is the highlight of the album. All in all a decent album but of this kind of style and year give me the Rainmakers debut album every time.
