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 69.7/100, a mean average of 67.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 67.9/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.5.

The two hits from this album, are the standout tracks, "Apollo 9"(No.13), and "Vive Le Rock"(No.50). I also enjoy "Scorpio Rising" and "P.O.E.", but more or less the other tracks are average, but hold their place on the album.

You probably need to be an Ant fan to like this because if you aren't there is nothing ground breaking to hear. Some nonsensical lyrics but overall, for me, its enjoyable pop-rock. It's not surprising he took a break after this one, it's like the idea's have run out and it's almost like he's just doing what is expected of him. I would recommend listening to more mature Adam Ant though, and check out his later effort 'Wonderful'.
