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 70.3/100, a mean average of 69.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 69.9/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.8.

This is a positively stellar concept album from the Kinks. Every song plays a valuable part and nothing outlasts its welcome. 'Education' may be Ray Davies' magnum opus; it is positively epic in construction and message. 'No More Looking Back' ties things up with powerful impact. This is a true 5-star album that stands well alongside the likes of Village Green, Arthur, and Lola.

Ignore the cover and you've got a good album from the Kinks. Kind of a continuation of Preservation Acts 1 & 2. I like this record. Not their best album but, not their worst.
