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 is rated in the top 22% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 73.7/100, a mean average of 70.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 75.0/100. The standard deviation for this album is 18.5.

This is the album where Joe Camilleri really gets his act & the band firing on all cylinders.

Not very well known on this side of the pond, saw these Aussie roots rockers back up Blue Rodeo in the early 90s and they blew them away. Love the Bull sisters vocals. Great heartfelt tunes.
