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 70.6/100, a mean average of 69.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 70.5/100. The standard deviation for this album is 16.0.

Grown on me over time, but still his weakest album imho.
very forgettable, disappointing
The song Murder is as good as anything put out by Floyd; solo or otherwise
this is a pleasing enough album when playing, but I fail to remember much of it afterwards.
It's hard not to notice the similarities to Pink Floyd, but the arrangement typical for the eighties. You can listen to more than once :)
