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 70.9/100, a mean average of 70.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 70.6/100. The standard deviation for this album is 18.9.

Manager: “ Hey Gordy what have you got planned for the Bring On The Night concerts” ?

Sting: “ I’m going to show off my jazz chops and play prolonged inprov sections intermixed with Police interpretations and choose the the most bland tracks from my catalogue , then I’m going to release this whole self indulgent mess as a boring double album and sit back and watch the royalties pour in “

Manager: “But what about the fans Mr Sumner ?”

Sting: “ Huh , that’s the brilliant part , the jokes on them “ ( lights a Cuban Cigar lies back and smiles)

Good selection of songs, many from the Police played live in a jazz-pop-rock style.
