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 71.0/100, a mean average of 70.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 70.5/100. The standard deviation for this album is 11.4.

Inni epocali non ce ne sono ma canzoni ottime sia da ballare che da ascoltare o canticchiare si; inoltre in alcune tracce il gruppo sposta in avanti i propri confini innervando il loro ska col dub. Una piacevole sorpresa.

Underrated this one. A lot better than I thought but as with most, if not all Madness albums, the singles are the strongest cuts with, Grey day, the pick of the bunch. Good.

Not my favourite Madness album, not enough of an upbeat sound to it. The singles were pretty obvious, I'd say, and the second half tails off. Decent but they've done better.
