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 is rated in the top 6% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 75.6/100, a mean average of 74.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 77.3/100. The standard deviation for this album is 16.9.

A school mate lent me his vinyl copy and I always wanted my own. Never thought I would end up with my own picture disc copy some thirty years later! There are some great tracks on this album including the opener, 'Mr Universe' and 'Fighting Man'. If you are a Gillan fan, this one and 'Glory Road' are the two to have. Some of his later solo work lacked the enthusiasm and creativity.
