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 73.2/100, a mean average of 72.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 73.3/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.9.

Debut album. How can you not love The Pogues. Such buoyant music. They only got better with their next couple of albums (Edited)

yeah! it's the pogues! irish punk folk - awesome. glorious music for beer drinking. but it's the same as for rockabilly: that's live music. listening to it at home on a record is less than half the fun...

A strong debut, although a bit too uneven to receive the really high scores. Streams of Whiskey is magnificent, and there is another handful of really strong tracks. The Auld Triangle and Kitty should have been excluded for a better total experience.
