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 66.4/100, a mean average of 62.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 62.9/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.5.

The third MWH album (not including Folk of the 80's or Freeways EP's) - On Tuesday is one of their best ever tracks and its criminal it wasn't released as a single!!! 2nd only to Rhythm of Youth out of the 5 original albums but challenged more recently by the comeback Love in the Age of War.

My older sister played the hell out of this when I was a kid... UNlike some of her other dreck, this holds some pleasant nostalgia for me. There's kind of a clever quirkiness to it.
