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 is rated in the top 6% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 75.6/100, a mean average of 75.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 75.8/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.8.

Such a good album and underrated. The music and playing is excellent. The songs are immense and very strong. Standouts are Baker Street and Stealin' Time but there isn't a weak moment on the album. A classy record. (Edited)

This was Gerry'g biggie, with three enduring hits, one of which is one of the most recognized songs of all. Outside the hits and a couple other minor tunes, the rest of the album is largely throwaway. (Edited)

This is a wonderful album. I like every track. If you know Mr. Rafferty's music only for "Baker Street", pick this one up. You'll be in for a very pleasant surprise! (Edited)

Gerry certainly had a very unique sound. Right Down the Line and Home & Dry are faves. But there's a reason Baker Street still gets radio play. A masterpiece. (Edited)
