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 69.3/100, a mean average of 67.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 68.4/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.9.

The Devil Made Me Do it and Twilight Zone raise the rating for this album. I rather prefer the live albums of the Earring. They are great live!
Golden Earring surprised everyone by pulling Twilight Zone out of the bag, when everyone thought they were dead and long gone. It is by far the leading highlight of this album, but is matched with the very catchy The Devil Made Me Do It and Secrets.
