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 70.3/100, a mean average of 69.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 69.7/100. The standard deviation for this album is 12.7.

Byrne's other solo album's may be a better place to start than "Look Into The Eyball". Passable fair can be found here - the treasures can be found on his other albums.

It's a decent album, it won't bore you but it probably won't blow you away either.

A couple of really nice songs, the Great Intoxication and Neighborhood are excellent.

Some good pop songs... some mediocre "world-musicish" songs. A funny album.
