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 72.6/100, a mean average of 70.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 72.8/100. The standard deviation for this album is 17.5.

Mental Notes is Split Enz’s debut album, recorded in Australia. It’s an unsettling mixture of creepy Phil Judd material, pretty ballads, and music hall vamps. While it sounds inspired by bands like Genesis, Judd’s psychotic vocals and disturbing subject matter, as well as the dual front-man approach, give Mental Notes a unique atmosphere. The production values are low, giving Mental Notes a murky and unclear veneer, but that only adds to its mystique.
