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 8% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 75.1/100, a mean average of 75.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 75.6/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.6.

For me, a maddeningly inconsistent album. There are some absolutely epic and brilliant tracks mixed in with some mind-numbingly by-the-numbers generic arena rock. As always, though, the musicianship is beyond reproach.

Triumph at their peak. The first side is faultless. The second side is a bit weaker with Ordinary Man just going on a bit too long. Classic tracks are: Fool For Your Love, Magic Power, Allied Forces and Fight The Good Fight. Hot Time (in the City Tonight) also a good tune.
