Rating metrics: Help 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 73.2/100, a mean average of 71.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 73.2/100. The standard deviation for this album is 18.3.

Wasn’t I Want Your Sex highly controversial at the time? ? (Edited)

From the opening organ which runs into acoustic of the opening title track you were on a ride through a pop masterpiece. Other favorites are Father Figure, I Want Your Sex and Monkey. The videos for these were a constant on MTV. This was the best selling album of 1988. George issued a serious challenge to Michael Jackson, Prince and Madonna. (Edited)
