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 68.3/100, a mean average of 67.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 67.6/100. The standard deviation for this album is 16.3.

This is a brilliant album from start to finish featuring great 80's style Aussie rock. Was a fan of Icehouse growing up but only recently properly listened to this album and think it is great. The opening to the title track which is very powerful and ends well. Very underrated album. This band also helped inspire Scottish band Simple Minds to come up with their best album New Gold Dream. Ironic as the lead singers of these bands look very similar. A great listen.
