Rating metrics: 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 71.6/100, a mean average of 69.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 71.3/100. The standard deviation for this album is 20.4.

Excellent album which is very upbeat from the off. Piano work is an absolute pleasure to listen to. The first three tracks steal the show but the whole album is superb.

Scenes from the Southside doesn't differentiate much from the prior album The Way it Is, but the songs remain quite enjoyable and Bruce Hornsby's piano work is excellent once again. It just doesn't have the high notes of their debut album.
