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 69.5/100, a mean average of 67.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 67.9/100. The standard deviation for this album is 10.6.

Quite an interesting collection of songs. The music is quite diverse and the songwriting is clever. Thomas Dolby is an underrated songwriter in my opinion. Personally I prefer tracks like 'Beauty of a Dream' and 'I Love You Goodbye' to the more 'rocky' 'Close But No Cigar', although the Eddie Van Halen Guitar solo makes the track.
