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 3% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 77.4/100, a mean average of 77.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 78.7/100. The standard deviation for this album is 16.7.

I often find compilation albums disappointing, perhaps because of over familiarity with the music, or the fact that they often leave off great tracks. However Hall and Oates were the ideal act for a compilation album, as at the time of release, their music had not been played much on UK radio. I had heard a couple of their previous albums but found them rather patchy. However this compilation is superb-every track is a gem, and many of them were rarely played on UK radio. Plus, it does what it says on the tin-the music is a delightful fusion of rock and soul.
I hate compilation albums, however, adult education is one of my favorite Hall & Oates songs. With that said, there are a lot of great tunes on this album. It is a multi-platinum album which says a lot
