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 71.8/100, a mean average of 71.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 71.8/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.2.

Bark At The Moon and Rock N Rock Rebel are great tracks the rest is okay not as strong as prior albums but it’s an enjoyable listen. (Edited)

Pretty consistent for an Ozzy album. A bit more of the 80's synth sound coming through on a few tracks, but still with that traditional heaviness. Not up there with his best but still a decent album.

Solid heavy rocker. No high highs, but everything is high.
