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 70.0/100, a mean average of 68.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 69.6/100. The standard deviation for this album is 20.4.

Almost as good, if not as good, as private eyes. Starts slow, but definitely has the same amount of hits -- "kiss on my list", "you've lost that lovin' feelin'", "you make my dreams" and "everytime you go away" are recognizable. "kiss on my list" and "you make my dreams" were probably the first h&o songs i listened to, esp. recorded on cassette. Fine representation of the maturation of their philly soul sound. (Edited)
