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 65.5/100, a mean average of 62.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 62.9/100. The standard deviation for this album is 11.0.

"Only the strong survive" is Bruce Springsteen's soul covers album featuring 15 songs by artists such as Jimmy Ruffin, Jerry Butler and The Commodores. Bruce does a fine job vocally but the fact that he just basically recreates the originals without any interest in reinterpretating them means the tracks have no chance of standing up to the original recordings. And that also means that once you've heard the record there is nowhere else to go, nothing to dig deeper into. It basically just does what it says on the tin. At the end of the day Bruce plays it a little too safe and leaves the listener with a kind of so what attitude. It's an enjoyable record in it's own way but not one I will be going back to too often. A stop gap. Nothing less, nothing more.
