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 70.3/100, a mean average of 69.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 69.3/100. The standard deviation for this album is 16.9.

This Is actually a very underrated album. If you want to hear the Fairlight and Linn Drum used to maximum effect then this album is a must. The use of a Fairlight to emulate a classical guitar is brilliant. There are no weak tracks here, for me this isn't pop but sophisticated synth architecture overlaid with a strong upbeat vocal.
