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 72.0/100, a mean average of 71.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 71.8/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.2.

Space are a cracking band, with some incredible hits. Female of the Species and Me and You Vesus The World are instantly recognisable tracks that transport you back to the 90s. For my money, Neighbourhood is still their best song though, and starts out a great record that is driven by Tommy Scott's somewhat unusual singing style. With jangly indie pop, and moments of experimental strangeness, most of the album hits, but the final track, Growler, is a low point.
