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 70.3/100, a mean average of 69.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 69.4/100. The standard deviation for this album is 16.0.

It seems like everyone from my generation still remembers all the words to "Jessie's Girl." And Mr. Springfield approaches every song on this album with the same enthusiasm. However, some of the material sounds a bit dated now, and perhaps a bit forced. For a more consistent album I recommend the excellent "Success Hasn't Spoiled Me Yet".
