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 68.0/100, a mean average of 65.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 65.6/100. The standard deviation for this album is 20.1.

one of the more interesting tidbits about this album is that the song "Brite Side" got Debbie a guest-starring role in several episodes of the tv series Wiseguy with Ken Wahl. it's probably my least favorite track on the album, but it was fun to see her turn up on a show i was a fan of :-)
also, i'm not sure which version of the album this is, but my original CD copy has 15 tracks rather than 11.
