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 72.5/100, a mean average of 71.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 72.5/100. The standard deviation for this album is 16.9.

If you want songs of love, longing and loss, they are here in spades. If you want some social commentary, check that box as well. Billy Bragg seemed to have invented his own genre with his early work. Pure, honest, emotional and poetic. In a word, "perfect".

Love the lyrics on this album, they fit really well with the beautiful guitar parts.
