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 72.8/100, a mean average of 73.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 73.0/100. The standard deviation for this album is 16.6.

Back in the eighties I remember buying the 12 inch single version of Tokyo Nights, from memory it was on yellow vinyl. For some reason I didn't click with Krokus and ended up selling it to a mate. I am now making up for lost time, having just bought the Metal Redez-vous album at a second hand vinyl shop. The album is in excellent condition and has confirmed that I do like the Tokyo Nights track and in fact the whole album, my musical taste has no doubt matured over the years. Krokus sound a bit like a meld of AC/DC with April Wine. Some fantastic guitar work on 'Fire'.
