Rating metrics:
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 72.4/100, a mean average of 71.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 72.3/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.4.

James (UK): Gold Mother
Difficult to rate due to the different versions / track listings. Rating based on original 1990 release.
1.Come Home. 87
2.Government Walls. 99
3.God Only Knows. 73
4.You Can't Tell How Much Suffering (On A Face That's Always Smiling). 73
5.Crescendo. 80
6.How Was It For You? 76
7.Hang On. 88
8.Walking The Ghost. 98
9.Gold Mother. 79
10.Top Of The World. 83
Bonus:
11. Sit Down. 84
12. Lose Control. 94
Didn't realise the original didn't contain Sit Down, which obviously improves the album when added. Walking The Ghost is probably my 2nd favourite James song and definitely in my top 100. I also like Government Walls and How Was It For You?
One of my favourite albums ever at the time of release. Then they released another version 18 months later with Sit Down on. I bought that too

Essential Madchester album and the soundtrack to the glorious summer of 1990.
