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 72.6/100, a mean average of 71.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 72.8/100. The standard deviation for this album is 16.1.

It's Fred Titmus. Had so much fun listening to this when it first came out. 30 years on - still wonderful. No other band like HMHB.
Some of the references maybe lost on younger listeners nowadays but it's still hilarious and HMHB at their nest (Edited)
