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 72.9/100, a mean average of 73.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 73.2/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.0.

Blow Your Cool , my all time favorite power pop album and easily one of my all time favorites period. This album sound tracked some of the best times of my life , so it was that heady mix for me of a great album whilst I was having a great time. This album rocks and has no less than 6 perfect 100/100 tracks ('Out That Door ' / 'Hell For Leather'/'Where Nowhere Is'/'Middle Of The Land'/'On My Street and 'Party Machine' ) . I've always thought this is Brad Shepards record as his axe playing is breathtaking here.

Sadly this would be The Gurus last great album leaving us with 3 amazing albums in

Stoneage Romeos
Mars Needs Guitars

Blow Your Cool

A perfect party CD. Nothing too serious at all - just good old fashioned shredding going on here.
