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 72.1/100, a mean average of 71.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 72.1/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.1.

Although it’s never made me jump up and down with excitement, the album has an uncanny ability to express that slightly below par melancholy sadness.

So 38 years later it still gets a spin when we’ve had a couple of days drizzle and the mood is right. Or more accurately, slightly wrong.

Good second album but not up to the standard of Rattlesnakes. All good tracks apart from James (which is alright) - when I consider the quality of the B-sides I can't believe this made an album! Rich and Pretty Gone should have been released as singles ahead of Cut Me Down...
