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 71.0/100, a mean average of 69.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 70.8/100. The standard deviation for this album is 17.0.

OK, this is a tough one. I want to love this record, but it sounds a bit shit, frankly. The Trevor Horn/Stephen Lipson/ZTT-Sarm sound thing is dating badly. Fading. The CD sounds dreadful anyway, needs remastering and putting back to it's original unedited vinyl form. It stands as an exercise or experiment in how to muck about with and stretch out one basic track for long enough to make an album. It is an artefact of it's time. But Grace is great, does what she does very well. And viewed as a bit of harmless fun it's alright.
