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 22% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 73.6/100, a mean average of 72.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 74.1/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.8.

A drama in the making, too dramatic to be told. The guy on the cover in his last seconds of his life before being killed, that's the story of the band and of this unenven album. Some songs carry a beaty I could never forget, a beauty of hurt, as it sounded from several records in the first half of the 80s. A band that wanted to be more, while it was already a lot. Al Greens call to arms to a bunch of sad young post punk folkies. Reach!
