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 64.9/100, a mean average of 62.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 62.1/100. The standard deviation for this album is 18.1.

I am not sure that there any weak tracks on this classic eighties album. Wall to wall electro synth pop/rock class. The opener and 'Call Me' are personal favourites. Seen live recently at Exeter Rock and they still have it! Didn't disappoint. For any keyboard fanatics out there, like me, Richard Drummie used an Ensonik Mirage which delivered a lot of those classic sounds.
