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 71.7/100, a mean average of 70.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 71.6/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.4.

Second solo album from The Verve's frontman, "Human Condition" sounds like a second album. There are the usual explorations of spirituality found in Ashcroft's work, most notably on "God In The Numbers" and "Lord I've Been Trying". Elsewhere Ashcroft tries to make sense of his existece and gets help in his search by Beach Boy Brian Wilson who provides harmony vocals on "Nature Is The Law".
