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 73.0/100, a mean average of 72.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 73.0/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.7.

“Two albums of 1982 I listened to: First an album I already own/know: This must be one of his best albums. As on all his best albums there is a really good ballad and here it is Man Out Of Time although it doesn't always succeed in being a ballad. But there's also the jazzy Almost Blue. Beyond…”

Saw this tour back in 83. Some decent tracks on the album that kinda grow on you. Perhaps not their finest work but I like it. (Edited)

I realy liked it in 1982, but today it sounds like a bad copy of "breakfast in america" (Edited)

I haven't listened to this album in a while, maybe it's the melancholic vibe throughout or the dated vocals, or that it's just not that good.
There are some good songs on the album , 'it's raining again' 'cest le bon' and 'know who you are' but they're not that memorable, though I've got a vague remembrance of the songs to sing along to them.
