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 72.5/100, a mean average of 72.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 72.5/100. The standard deviation for this album is 12.5.

I have never got the kinks under my skin. (Edited)
The best album of them after Muswell Hillbillies
Favorite songs: Misfits, A Rock 'n' Roll Fantasy, In a Foreign Land
One of the better 'latter day' Kinks albums. Ray Davies' songwriting is as strong as ever, and I do suspect that if this album was released during the band's classic period, misfits, just might be looked upon as one of their best albums. Very good.
