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 67.7/100, a mean average of 65.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 65.5/100. The standard deviation for this album is 23.9.

very few non-bangers. excellently unsingable lyrics: "a fur for her takes one furtherer".

Thanks to lancashirearab for this. Will definitely check out some more of them, a very good LP indeed.

In Birmingham they plant thinner trees, so muggers can't hide behind them! I love this album. My wife has even grown to quite like it.
