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 73.2/100, a mean average of 73.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 73.6/100. The standard deviation for this album is 12.4.

Perhaps I took an odd path to discovering Pere Ubu: this was the first of their albums I ever bought and listened to all the way through in a single setting. While others may always list more classic Pere Ubu releases as better (such as the brilliant "The Modern Dance" or "Dub Housing"), every song on here opened a new world to me. The mood shifts throughout the album, from nuanced to haunting to edgy and more. Yet, it remains whole, and there isn't a track I would dare skip or a dull moment. Maybe my nostalgia clouds my view, but this will always be my go to Pere Ubu album.
