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 70.9/100, a mean average of 70.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 70.7/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.5.

Tears for Fears didn't break up as much as they disappeared up their own butts. This album and Roland Orzabal's competing album Raoul and the Kings of Spain prove it.

Good new wave/pop rock/indie rock album. Best 10 songs average is 79,7/100 and the album can get good 80/100. Best songs are "Cold" and "Break it down again" both 85/100, followed by "Fish out of water" and "Goodnight song" both 80/100. All other songs average 70-75/100.
