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 68.7/100, a mean average of 66.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 66.1/100. The standard deviation for this album is 17.7.

The album is good, but the Lady in Red is just the best song in it.

I saw Chris De Burgh at the Cornwall Coliseum at the peak of his musical career, which was the release of this album in my opinion. I still have the tape which was played to the point of almost snapping, this was when having a tape player in a car was the buis! Although 'Lady in Red' was played to death on the radio and in nightclubs, it isn't actually the best track on the album. There are several better ones including 'Fire on the Water', 'Say Goodbye To It All' and 'Fatal Hesitation'. A very uplifting listen. And by way of this sentence, I am updating this comment above (26/11/18) to add that having picked up an excellent copy on vinyl, the album production is superb with every instrument set clearly and just right in the mix. Fantastic album bringing back lots of happy late teen memories!
