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 72.9/100, a mean average of 72.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 73.0/100. The standard deviation for this album is 11.5.

“Two albums of 1977: An album I already know/own: Except for the title track which is really good a good but not excellent album and remains at the 31st rank. An album from my wishlist: This is not yet the eighties: on this debut album they tried out all kinds of punk and first new wave influences…”

A surprising one this. It sounds a lot less like Midge Ure's Ultravox and more like Suicide. It's actually quite decent. Give it a go. (Edited)

When John Foxx was still the driver and before Ultravox found that the 'stadium anthem' sound shifted a lot more more records, Ultravox actually made some interesting and innovative music - if all too briefly. (Edited)
