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 70.2/100, a mean average of 69.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 69.3/100. The standard deviation for this album is 17.2.

I was and remain a huge fan of X. This album isn't as good as the prior 4, but it's still good. X definitely changed their sound here, trying to become more commercial, more mainstream rock. There are good songs here, and I'll list my favorite 5:
Burning House of Love
Love Shack
My Soul Cries Your Name
I'll Stand Up For You
Little Honey
