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 71.2/100, a mean average of 70.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 71.1/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.6.

horn percussion relentless beat pop
Teenybopper Brit-pop tunes with some funk/Latin characteristics thrown in. A little monotonous but still fairly strong, and worth checking out for fans of artists like The English Beat, Orange Juice, XTC, etc.
Teenybopper Brit-pop tunes with a slight funk/Latin influence. This album is worth a listen if you admire bands along the lines of The English Beat, Orange Juice, XTC, etc. "Love Plus One" is the best song on the album, in my opinion.

dynamic, slightly hectic, but cheerful samba-funk-soul pop songs with an international flair. you can listen to this record good - it's easing and peppy. (i recommend to start listening with the track kingsize, then marine boy).
