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 is rated in the top 22% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 73.7/100, a mean average of 71.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 74.4/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.8.

After two albums where they kind of lost their way this album is a return to form in some way. This is though the last great album they made. The title track is an all time rock classic, Living on an Island is one of their best ballads, Breaking Away is a great closer while Who Asked You is the best song of the album.
