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 65.0/100, a mean average of 62.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 63.6/100. The standard deviation for this album is 16.0.

INXS's weakest album since the first but still decent. I've got all the original lineup's albums and this is the one I revisit the least and, like the last album, there's nothing new or original really.....still they were one of my favourite bands once upon a time and I'm glad I've got it in my collection.

At first I thought it was "Better than Oasis" rather than "Elegantly Wasted". Would've made for an interesting lyric.
