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 65.1/100, a mean average of 59.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 59.2/100. The standard deviation for this album is 22.1.

This album was the first of her releases that began the transition towards less country and more pop. Don't Stop Believin' and Sam are easily the best tracks here and they are still performed live by Newton-John. Every Face Tells a Story, a rollicking country-pop track, is also very good and did not get the airplay that it deserved. Hey Mr. Dreammaker could easily have been a single. It's one of my 5 favorite studios albums by Newton-John.

An album of good & bad songs more good than bad. Sam and the title track standout. Love You Hold The Key, Compassionate Man & A Thousand Conversations are also good.
