Rating metrics: Help 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 18% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 73.9/100, a mean average of 73.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 74.1/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.8.

Actually i prefer Idea rather that this album, but... at least for what's behind, it deserves to be considerated; definitely not the Bee Gees that basically are used to be known.

Easily the best Bee Gees album ever (before they sold out and went disco). Odessa is absolutely brilliant. Incredible musicianship and melody.

Some truly great songs on this one.

Where the Bee Gees first would be their Pepper, this would be their White Album, though of course not nearly as good.
