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 71.8/100, a mean average of 70.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 71.8/100. The standard deviation for this album is 17.2.

She Drives Me Crazy is fantastic. That's about it unfortunately.

Classic eighties pop. The record starts to lose a little steam after the two radio hits, but redeems itself with the excellent "Ever Fallen in Love".

This record sounds dated to me today. His voice get's a little irritating after awhile.

The CD that made them famous - all of their hits are here. However, I don't its as good as its predecessor.
