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 71.5/100, a mean average of 71.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 71.2/100. The standard deviation for this album is 11.0.

I was underwhelmed if that's a word. I know it's not 'cause I looked it up: in short: I was and still am overwhelmed by this album and it's their best in my view. A classic

It would take them one more album to fill out their sound but this still has a handful of excellent songs, particularly "Underwhelmed".

Potential galore, but they haven't filled out their sound yet. Stick to the later releases.
