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 3% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 76.8/100, a mean average of 81.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 81.5/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.7.

I always preface my reviews of artists whose genre is one that I’m not a big fan of with a comment that this artist is worth checking out because everyone has a bias towards their favorite style(s). This is one of those artists. I love this album and I own the two non-collection albums “why try harder...” and “Between the gutter...”. I enjoy Cornershop but the remix of their “Brimful of Asha” is fantastic. Weapon of Choice is another highlight, who can forget the video with Christopher Walken? If you don’t know it then check it out. I could go through the track listing...this is so good and as I mentioned earlier not a style or genre I like at all. Hats off to Mr. Norman Cook; aka Fatboy Slim. For those who don’t know he was in the Housemartins if you really want to compare a juxtaposition in styles from a single artist.
