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 73.2/100, a mean average of 71.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 73.5/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.4.

After recording their heaviest album (Eight Miles High), Golden Earring decided to find a half way solution - heavy guitars with pop sensibilities. And it worked. Back Home was not only a #1 hit in Holland but Top 10 in Switzerland and Top 20 in Germany - it should have also been in the US and UK. The album also contains the original recording of Big Tree Blue Sea. Can someone tell me which Who track The Loner is based on?
