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 66.9/100, a mean average of 65.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 65.2/100. The standard deviation for this album is 16.9.

I am so pleased to have now procured the vinyl version of this superb album. So only four years after my first entry, I can now enjoy the maximum audio experience on this limited edition coloured vinyl.
This is a stunning album, very possibly my favourite by The Waterboys much as I love This Is The Sea. Songs like 'The Hosting of Shee' and 'A Full Moon in March' really make this album a stunner. Excellent musicianship throughout.
