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 is rated in the top 18% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 74.1/100, a mean average of 72.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 74.3/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.6.

Very meaningless music. Child of its time, perhaps.

Simple Minds are so uncool I am probably setting myself up with this one, but when it came out it was so fresh and different. Even the band admit that this was much more exciting than the stadium sounds that made them millions.
