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 72.8/100, a mean average of 72.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 72.8/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.8.

Rolling Stones bassist Bill Wyman said of Saturation in 1993, "Urge Overkill, a band made up of some very smart boys acting dumb, had a[n] ambivalent year, cursed, you might say, by the granting of all their wishes. The band had a good record company enthused about promoting a good record, and good wishes and support from all quarters: both alterative and mainstream radio, the press, MTV, Nirvana, you name it. Yet for some reason, while the group's very smart record sold respectably, it never really clicked with buyers. Nor did its even smarter videos turn on the MTV kids. On balance, the band was either too smart about being dumb or too dumb about being smart." I think Wyman was on to something, and he seems to have offered a compelling explanation for why an album as consistently good as Saturation has widely been regarded as little more than a footnote in the annals of nineties rock. I think it's a grunge album that's both poppier and catchier than a lot of the other nineties grunge bands and more sophisticated than a lot of the bands that music fans perceived as edgier. "Sister Havana" and "Positive Bleeding" are two of the best straight-ahead rock songs of the decade.
