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 72.9/100, a mean average of 69.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 73.3/100. The standard deviation for this album is 17.3.

I'm not sure what Steve is trying to do here, improve on the originals? If this is just his own take fair enough but most fall short. As a lifelong Genesis fan Steve hasnt covered himself in glory here. There are one or two decent moments but they are few and far between. (Edited)
