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 65.1/100, a mean average of 57.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 60.6/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.7.

Album No.2 and the album before the big time. An album of inconsistency with the best TT song, In The Name Of Love, a significant step towards what was to come, and quite possibly their worst track, Crazy Dog. Side one far better than side two, but as Thompson Twins are another of my 80's favourites I will give it 70% because of the highlights, and despite the low points.
