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 68.5/100, a mean average of 66.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 67.6/100. The standard deviation for this album is 17.2.

Favourite album from my favourite band - the vinyl album was a 14th birthday present! Although this is their first and best full length album they are so much more than the Safety Dance. Got this album in 1983 and still listen to it regularly today. Also managed to get hold of the rare first issue CD with the earlier Folk of the 80's tracks as bonuses....Everyone has that one album that you just fall in love with...this is mine, superb 80's synth pop that's a constant in my life....thank you Men Without Hats!

One huge hit, but not as consistent as Pop Goes the World. Decent Quebec-based alt-pop.
