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 67.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 68.0/100. The standard deviation for this album is 16.9.

Better than The Razors Edge, but still lacking. A bit of filler puts this one down, and the lyrics are hilariously awful, but the music is overall pretty good. Production could be slightly better, but it's not noticeably bad. If only half of this and half of Stiff Upper Lip were an album, then you'd have something truly amazing.

Nope. Not up to their standards. Cover You In Oil? Really? That's as awkward as ACDC gets with their lyrics.
