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 68.6/100, a mean average of 67.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 68.0/100. The standard deviation for this album is 16.3.

I do enjoy this album - probably more than even I know or give it credit for!! I am most drawn to the slower Touching The Untouchables and Down By The Sea

Probably the cheeriest album in my collection, the title track always puts a smile on my face. To be honest, until recently, I only knew Men At Work for 'Down Under'. As with many eighties bands, musically underrated and eroded by the sands of time. Great interesting cover art too!

I owned this before Business As Usual and although the strongest tracks are maybe not quite as strong as the ones on BAU, overall IMO, it is more consistent. BAU had two tracks I thought weakened it, this doesn't have any, therfore this just shades it for me (although they both get 8.5/10).
