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 71.6/100, a mean average of 70.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 70.8/100. The standard deviation for this album is 17.1.

Bought this album on the back of Let My People Go-Go in 1986, remember loving it then. Vinyl drifted out but when I got my new record player 4 or 5 years back this was one of the first albums to get a play. Four out of five strong opening tracks and then a mix of good and above average. Still like it a lot and one you might if you like your rock a little countryfied!

First 3 tracks are very strong - great music and great thought - provoking lyrics. However, the CD trails off rapidly after that.
