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 4% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 76.6/100, a mean average of 76.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 76.9/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.8.

You'd think 2Tone would sound dated, but this is as fresh and joyful as it was in 80. Brilliant collection, from the single Mirror in the Bathroom through Big Shot and Best Friend. Great stuff.

Cool 80s ska/reggae album. Nothing too serious, just fun.
Good consistency and sound.

Frenetic, energetic, and just plain fun. Great genre in music that never gets old.
