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 69.7/100, a mean average of 68.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 69.3/100. The standard deviation for this album is 19.9.

The title track is great, always loved that. The rest of the album swings from excellent (Painter man, He was a Steppenwolf) to unbearable (King of the road, Brown girl in the ring) but for half of it's running time this album is a fresh and fun disco/pop record that still sounds great today. The rest? Arghh!

Great dance-pop. Don't turn up your nose - it's a dancefloor filler.
