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 67.4/100, a mean average of 65.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 65.7/100. The standard deviation for this album is 19.9.

This album is not that bad.
The production is too clean, the singer is almost average, but some of the song are lovely to listen to.

Man on the rocks isn't like the previous albums from Mike Oldfield: a man singer, all songs are sung, very poppy... It feels fresh. I really really like it.
The last 3 songs are not as good as the others.
Best songs: Nuclear, Chariots, Castaway
