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 73.4/100, a mean average of 73.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 73.6/100. The standard deviation for this album is 12.0.

How do you follow-up their best album Vienna? You start by getting the great (and sadly recently departed) Sir George Marin to helm the project. Six of the nine tracks can be categorized as hits (or minor hits) during their time. It's a great album and if you are looking for a slice of 80's music history it's one of the best.
