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 71.4/100, a mean average of 70.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 71.3/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.6.

My favourite Primal Scream album. I purchased it the day it was released, and still absolutely love it. My favourite tracks being any Denise Johnson sang on... Amazing!

A lot of variety on this. Rock, funk, country infused, lounge music, more rock. Very mixed bag. Not there best but still a good album

"blues rock" scream = worst scream , as evidenced by "riot city blues" as well , but at least this one has no country pop

Primal Scream make a wrong turn into blues rock territory, but they still manage to fashion a good album out of it. Although it has to be said, compared to the rest of their work in the 90s it is a bit of a let-down. As long as you don't expect much, I'm pretty sure a listener will find things to enjoy about this one.
