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 has a Bayesian average rating of 71.4/100, a mean average of 70.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 71.3/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.7.

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.

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).
