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 72.2/100, a mean average of 70.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 72.2/100. The standard deviation for this album is 17.0.

Great new wave, electro pop album from the man who brought the Jupiter 8 to my attention. Howard Jones is a very underrated musician. Having seen him open a concert on a grand piano, it makes one realise what hidden talents lie under the surface. If I am having an eighties vinyl evening (and often do!) this album will be one of the ones I pull out of the rack.

Better than average new wave album. Definitely a product of its day, but the two hits, 'Things Can Only Get Better,' and 'No One Is To Blame,' still make for a decent listen.
This album is example of typical pop of the 80's. Something useful for the radio stations at the moment but after few years (or even months) it can be forgotten.
