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 67.8/100, a mean average of 66.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 66.0/100. The standard deviation for this album is 16.0.

Can't explain it - don't even want to - but this album "Stray" has made it's mark on me for over 30 years and still does to this day. I have it rated no 1 for 1990; no 2 for the 90's and 14 in my overall chart. Strange how an album can impact someone (ie me), yet have minimal impact elsewhere. That's the beauty of personal taste and why I feel no need to criticise anyone for what they love, don't love, feel uncommitted towards in the way of music, albums, artists.

Not my favourite Roddy Frame album, but some great songs nonetheless. Not up to the previous three though.
