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 68.5/100, a mean average of 66.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 66.3/100. The standard deviation for this album is 12.2.

The DC5 were among the most succesful bands of the 1960's. They had a long string of hit singles during 1964-70 on both sides of the Atlantic. What were their strengths then; since today, they seem to be more or less forgotten?

Most people who grew up in the sixties remember their big hits like "Red Balloon" and "Everybody Knows", both of which I never really cared for, but encouraged by a big fan of the band I took a chance and bought this album on a "two on one" CD.

Having listened to it 3-4 times now, I'm not very surprised that the group is on the way into oblivion. They did have a great lead singer in Mike Smith and did write occasional fine pop-songs, but judged from this 1964 album ( supposedly one of their best ), most of their material is quite average and forgettable.

A few songs, though, deserve to be brought out. "Because", "Anytime You Want Love" and "I Cried Over You" are fine Mersey-type ballads. Also interesting among the 6 bonus-track to find Neil Young's "Southern Man" which the band released as a single in 1970.
