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 5% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 76.2/100, a mean average of 76.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 76.9/100. The standard deviation for this album is 11.4.

A much darker album from the Thompson's. It's still as strong as their other records but it's a bit more of a grower. Streets of paradise, night comes in, and, beat the retreat, are just three of the standouts.
This album contains one of most greatest love's songs of popular music. "Dimming of the day" has sixteen tons (and more...) of emotion and truth.
And of course, a prodigy vocal of Linda and an outstanding work of Richard on electric and acoustic guitars.
