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 is rated in the top 23% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 74.1/100, a mean average of 73.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 74.4/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.6.

Following the seminal 'Stoneage Romeos' we all held our breath for The Gurus next album & 'Mars Needs Guitars ' is what we got . And it good , quite good in fact . I place it at 3 in their catalogue behind 'Stoneage ' and 'Blow Your Cool ' . The only track that sucks is 'Poison Pen ' everything else rocks. On a side note is it possible 'Hayride To Hell' is a play on words tip of hat to ACDC's 'HIGHWAY TO HELL'? Its got to be doesn't it ? And finally as a massive Gurus fan I saw them play promoting this album at the Bundaberg Tavern , I was a teenager at the time and quite possibly this concert was the greatest thing that had ever happened in my short life . I've never forgotten that concert .
Great Aussie rock. Stand outs include Bittersweet and Like wow
