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 67.1/100, a mean average of 65.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 66.4/100. The standard deviation for this album is 16.7.

Elton's best album of the 80's is often considered 'Too Low for Zero', however, I really believe that this album has much stronger and more emotionally charged material throughout.

My effort to listen to everything Elton's ever recorded in a weekend has been met with some pain (did the '80s have to happen?), but he always manages a hit single or two and this one's a little deeper, perhaps worth an end-to-end listen.

One of his better later efforts. A bit uneven but an enjoyable listen.
