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 70.7/100, a mean average of 69.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 70.4/100. The standard deviation for this album is 16.5.

I really liked this! More than I thought I would. Slightly different sound too for the times but it works.

For me maybe the most underrated Deep Purple album, all songs are atleast decent, Sometimes i feel like screaming sticks out, Hey Cisco and Ted the mechanic are the two other big gems in my opinion. Overall its a wide spanning album, the songs differ more than on a lot of the previous and following albums.
