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 72.9/100, a mean average of 71.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 73.1/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.0.

Another classic Mott the Hoople album. A lot of critics seem to come to the conclusion that this is the 'weaker' of the albums, Mott, and, The Hoople, but as far as i'm concerned they're as good as each other. Manly glam at it's best.
My single favorite Mott the Hoople album. I listen to this more than the compilation. Picked it up in a bargain bin on vinyl, showing my age now. However, it is my favorite because it's cohesive and has minimal weak spots. It also has my favorite Hoople song "Roll Away The Stone". I know everyone leans towards "Mott" as their best, but I prefer this album and would recommend this album as Mott the Hoople's best.
