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 71.9/100, a mean average of 69.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 71.8/100. The standard deviation for this album is 18.6.

Quite a decent album until you get to the far too long Southpaw
Maybe not Morrissey's best work, but is this really only the 16,166th best album of all time?
Even if I was being as objective as I could and still a little unkind, this still has to be in the top 1000, it is indeed not a million miles behind Strangeways in quality. (Edited)
Eh. Not his best work. (Edited)
