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 64.2/100, a mean average of 62.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 62.5/100. The standard deviation for this album is 16.3.

A nice little compilation of mid 80's pop stuff.

1980's soundtrack goodness at its best. Irene Cara's song is a classic and "Maniac" is an 80s staple as well. Some of the non-hits are solid as well, such as the Donna Summer and Laura Branigan tracks.
