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 68.4/100, a mean average of 67.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 67.9/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.6.

I realize it's not their best album from a purely objective point of view, but it's nevertheless my favorite album of all time. What can I say, it just struck a chord with me.

A little more refined than their debut but in a similar vein. No bad tracks but also no top quality ones either. Still a cracking album.

First side is great, second side pretty terrible. Some hidden gems here though like Red, Meccanic Dancing and Battery Brides!
