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 53.6/100, a mean average of 48.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 48.7/100. The standard deviation for this album is 19.7.

Just listening to the album now. Not as bad as quoted by many... Only really bad song is Go it alone, mainly due to the use of synths and electronic percussion. I Think it shows that even on his worst albums, Elton is still pretty good!
What's the worst Elton John album? It's a three way tie for last between this barren wasteland, "The Big Picture" and "Victim of Love". This doesn't even have a decent single to recommend it. Avoid.
