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 71.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 73.4/100. The standard deviation for this album is 17.0.

Included here is the wonderful Blindness, which is reason enough to give this LP a listen.

Blindness is an epic track that re-invigorated the Fall, and was probably the best thing they had done since the 80's.

It has a glorious bassline, it is a shame that Steve Hanley didn't come up with this one, but in a way this sums up the Fall in that after they lose the brilliant Hanley, they replace him and still come up with something like this.

I also love Midnight In Aspen which concerns the demise of Hunter S Thompson and also Clasp Hands which reminds me of the rockabilly shuffle of The Container Drivers.
