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 72.9/100, a mean average of 71.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 73.0/100. The standard deviation for this album is 16.9.

New Moon On Monday is surprisingly not in the list when it is my view among the top 5 of the Band in this decade. Still is a very good compilation of their early works.

Great compilation, I don't tend to listen to my CD's much now. Audi clearly thinks everyone wants to stream music from their phones. The removal of cassette players from cars killed the cassette market and the removal of CD players from cars will kill that market. Long live vinyl then!

Captures 95% of their earliest hits. Filled with fan favorites. Sure at the time their preety-boy image distracted many critics - but they had decent musical chops and proved worthy of the frequent obsessive girly/boy screams.
