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 65.7/100, a mean average of 63.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 63.0/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.5.

I have to admit that this is one of my favourite albums by Inxs,in my opinion the best and very underated been the 2nd album and produced by Richard Clapton it does have a professional sound, i highly recommend listening to this album, it's a very strong return from their 1st album which does have a dated sound but this 2nd album is a great timeless sound and is equal to the 3rd album Shabooh shoobah, definitely check it out.

A definite musical advance on the more punky sound of their debut, but still no real sign of the INXS to come. Decent effort mind, certainly usurped by the cracking following album Shabooh, Shoobah.
