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 is rated in the top 16% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 74.0/100, a mean average of 73.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 74.1/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.5.

This is my favorite "Crowded House" album. They sound darker compared to their other records but the album offers great songs like "Into Temptation" and "Better Be Home Soon" that sound llike a "Beatles"-impression from the 80s.
