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 60.9/100, a mean average of 55.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 55.3/100. The standard deviation for this album is 17.6.

Surprisingly listenable. A couple of sing-along hits. The band had evolved into anonymous sidemen at this point with acollection of step to the spotlight lead vocals from faceless singers with a samey identities. No Peter Cetera or anybody else.
