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 69.9/100, a mean average of 67.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 69.3/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.3.

A truly solid album which reached No.2 in the charts, with half of the songs being top 20 smash hits, "Only When You Leave"(3), "I'll Fly For You"(9), Highly Strung"(15) & "Round And Round"(18), although my favourite is "Nature Of The Beast". Tony Hadley's mesmeric vocals paired perfectly on all of the tracks.
