Rating metrics: 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 70.5/100, a mean average of 68.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 70.0/100. The standard deviation for this album is 16.6.

Pop-rock / CanCon joy from the late 80s. Right place, right time - smack in the middle of the Renaissance.

Great album for anyone who got confused by love. Yet another one of those albums too smart for public consumption.

This is the debut album from the Toronto quintet "The Pursuit of Happiness". Produced by Todd Rundgren,"Love Junk" is a pure power pop. Tight arrangements. Self-deprecating lyrics. Infectious melodies with an energetic hard rock-pop crunch.

Lead singer/songwriter/guitarist Moe Berg delivers lyrics that are simultaneously literate, wise, poignant and irremediably hornyIt's a lot of fun.
