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 is rated in the top 25% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 73.5/100, a mean average of 72.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 73.8/100. The standard deviation for this album is 16.0.

A brilliant album - his best. Humour, political satire and Patrick Mcgoohan makes this a classic.

Such a great, interesting, varied album. 'She's the one' itself is worth the buy. Honestly, that song gets me every time! - Must be one of the greatest songs ever written.
