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 71.9/100, a mean average of 70.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 71.8/100. The standard deviation for this album is 17.7.

The debut solo album from Rod deserves more recognition it is a great debut. Handbags & Gladrags & Cindys Lament are the best tracks but the remaining 6 tracks are all 85/100.When released in U.K. (1970) after it's U.S. release in 1969 it was given the title An Old Raincoat Won't Ever Let You Down another great track. Keith Emerson plays on the album as well as Jeff Beck drummer Micky Waller.
