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 70.8/100, a mean average of 65.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 69.6/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.3.

Enjoyable album. Some cracking tracks. Better than it's given credit for.

Listened to a lot of George back in my college days. Every time I hear him it reminds me of my college buddies and our house parties. Good album but clearly not his best work.
