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 67.4/100, a mean average of 65.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 66.9/100. The standard deviation for this album is 18.2.

"I Want To Know What Love Is" is a great ballad, but everything else here is thoroughly mediocre. Let me put it this way: I wouldn't make any effort to turn this album on, but I wouldn't make any effort to turn it off either. That's how completely middle-of-the-road it is. A big step down from "4" by comparison, though.

I like this better than 4. Foreigner is at their best with ballads. I Want to Know What Love Is is my favorite all time song

Hard to believe Foreigner could sink any further than '4' but somehow they did. Ugh.
