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 71.6/100, a mean average of 69.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 71.4/100. The standard deviation for this album is 16.6.

“I Probably broughton’s best. I have listened to this one (with the memorable Album cover) Another good broughton band album which, I would say is probably rated by the majority as their best. I have a soft spot for Wasa Wasa as it was the first album that I heard by the band. You can’t go far wrong…”

This was also my introduction to Edgar Broughton and, but far later than 1969 and I agree, it’s their best album. Great driving rock. Totally agree with the beefheart connection but would also reference Howlin Wolf in terms of vocal delivery.

Very good blues rock album (Edited)

Saw them twice in '69 at the Wake Arms pub in Epping and at Hyde Park in '70. Wasa Wasa was their first album and one of their best. Hard driven heavy blues, psych-rock, gritty vocals with elements of Beefheart. (Edited)
