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 73.3/100, a mean average of 72.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 73.4/100. The standard deviation for this album is 16.3.

Boz's album is a superb collection of blue eyed soul with a smidgen of rock. Lowdown is wondeful with a truly brilliant groove but the album is solid throughout

This is a classic album whose quality will endure forever. There is a soul sound to many of these songs and some disco dance tunes which remind me of the night club life from my teenage years. Harbor Lights is such a romantic song that is probably my favorite. My son recently had been playing some of my records and discovered he liked this too. (Edited)
