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 has a Bayesian average rating of 70.1/100, a mean average of 68.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 68.3/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.3.

So, James Iha really loves '70s guitar rock, in the vein of The Eagles and James Taylor? It would appear so, judging by the contents of this harmless solo album by the Smashing Pumpkins guitarist. If you love the bombast and every-note-counts style of the Pumpkins then this probably isn't for you, but this does make for the occasional pleasant diversion. Start with "Jealousy" if you want to decide whether this is for you.
