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 71.2/100, a mean average of 70.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 70.9/100. The standard deviation for this album is 11.1.

A lot better album than its reputation. Bruce Fairbairn inputs a production style that is all too eighties. It sounds entirely too...joyful...for a BOC record. Still, "Take Me Away" and "Shooting Shark" are among BOC's best compositions.

While definitely a product of its age, this is still a fine album. Each of the first four cuts are great examples of BOC at their best in terms of mixing their unique dark musical vision with a touch of mainstream commercial appeal. After that, the album does go downhill.
