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 66.2/100, a mean average of 63.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 64.6/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.2.

Heat wave is great. Quick Sand and Hammer are worth a listen. The rest of the album doesn't really make much of a contribution.

Lots of covers and they aren't better than the originals... Heat Wave is the only great song, the rest are ok.
