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 14% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 74.2/100, a mean average of 74.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 74.9/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.3.

The original lp version I wore out my copy of when it first came out is the one I still love and the one I'm rating--it's really a great pop record, a tight single album with all the fat trimmed. The full-length version lingers a bit too long, I think.
Brian Eno and David Byrne, a match made in music heaven. This record is groundbreaking and unlike anything ever recorded before 1981. A musical mish-mash of sounds that somehow fits together perfectly. A warning this record is not for the casual listener. If you want to be challenged and expand your musical horizons, listen to this album.
