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 73.1/100, a mean average of 71.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 73.2/100. The standard deviation for this album is 16.4.

The U.S. Version is a much stronger album.
1) Ballroom Blitz 2) Six Teens 3) No You Don't 4) A.C.D.C. 5) I Wanna Be Committed 6) Sweet F.A. 7) Fox On the Run 8) Set Me Free 9) Into the Night 10) Solid Gold Brass. Not one bad track.
A great party album from my High School years- big in the States.
