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 69.0/100, a mean average of 67.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 68.3/100. The standard deviation for this album is 17.3.

This album is very uneven. This is the last album where Gentle Giant are pushing a very progressive tracklist, and to me, it sounds like this is where they push a little too hard. It is definitely weaker than all their previous albums. It sounds like they are trying too much and it comes out a little flat. But this is still Gentle Giant, so there are still great songs in here (Interview, Empty City, I Lost My Head). But sadly, it also the GG album with the most mediocre songs (Give It Back, Timing). All in all, not GG's best by far, but still a very interesting listen.
