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 66.3/100, a mean average of 65.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 65.2/100. The standard deviation for this album is 18.4.

One of my all-time favourite albums and I can't understand why others don't think it a classic as well. It's a fusion of pop, reggae, funk, soul, jazz and electronica and despite being 40 years old still sounds fresh and undated. Listen to those first beats/bars of 'Asylums In Jerusalem' and tell me that doesn't sound cool AF. The lyrics are about philosophy ... and sex.
Very poor record :(( (Edited)
