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 69.5/100, a mean average of 68.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 68.8/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.8.

This is a superb album by Chris Rea. The title track is one of my all time 'summer feel' songs and immediately takes me to all those wonderful summer sights, sounds and aromas, in fact it sits high in my summer music playlist. Great vocals and musicianship throughout with a really good track to track flow. 'Two Roads' and 'Light of Hope' are other personal favourite, the latter is a beautiful ballad with harp like guitar and subtle electric piano.
