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 is rated in the top 12% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 74.5/100, a mean average of 75.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 75.1/100. The standard deviation for this album is 11.3.

Tipico prodotto del rock degli anni ottanta, i New Model Army erano un po' tamarri ( anche nel look, come quasi tutti del resto trent'anni fa… ) e un po' sinceri nel proporre un rock danzante ( l'immortale "Poison Street" che vale il disco da sola ) ma mai danzereccio, legato alle radici quanto basta e figlio pure della New Wave come dell'hard.
