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 has a Bayesian average rating of 70.4/100, a mean average of 68.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 69.8/100. The standard deviation for this album is 17.4.

Antony Szmierek (SSATEoTU - UK - Feb 25) - Service Station At The End Of The Universe
28.02.2025
Hyde's answer to The Streets...but better and more believable. One day the streets will associate Hyde with Szmierek, rather than Shipman. Szmierek takes an M60 assault rifle to the Manchester circular with beautifully observed lyrics, ranging from motorway bridge graffiti to Royal Nawaab's stack 'em-rack 'em-and pack 'em approach to buffet banqueting.
The first six tracks are top 100 album territory, which the second half can't quite match.
