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 66.5/100, a mean average of 65.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 66.0/100. The standard deviation for this album is 16.1.

Often overlooked sophomore solo outing for Morrissey. While not as strong as his debut or what was to follow, "Kill Uncle" is not without charm. The apparent problem lies not with Morrissey himself, but the band and producer he assembled for this effort. They simply don't mesh in Moz/Johnny Marr fashion. The lyrical playfulness is still there, yet the singer sometimes appears bored with the proceedings.

Some weak sauce from Moz. The first album/collection of songs in his career that's truly disappointing.

I still think this is Morrissey's weakest effort, but it is not without its own particular charm. Musically, it is quite different from the other albums, but I have never been a big fan of Found Found Found.

Underrated, there are some great songs here especially on Side 1. Give it a chance.
