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 70.3/100, a mean average of 68.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 69.7/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.4.

This is where it all began , very raw , very rough but the trade mark MO DNA is all there . Best track is 'Run By Night ' , followed by 'Surfing On A Spoon ' ( I always thought 'Surfing On A Spoon' was about drug use)
