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 65.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 67.4/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.5.

Before I ever heard Saxon, I was lured by this album cover as a teenager, but album purchases didn’t come too frequently. The clever use of crossed axe heads for a letter S and the rather cartoonist warrior made for a great sleeve my young spotty self thought. It would be thirty plus years before I laid the needle onto the spatter vinyl re-issue. And I do enjoy it, great debut for a classic NWOBHM band!
