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 16% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 74.0/100, a mean average of 75.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 75.4/100. The standard deviation for this album is 17.7.

Track listing on this is different to the original copy I have. Left off this are two fantastic key tracks 'Choppers' & 'Mr Moon'. But apart from that, this is a great band and album. A style all of there own with dual vocals of Chris Matthews and Fiona McDonald giving it a wide range of variety. 'Gaskrankenstation' being the ultimate pick of the bunch
