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 69.4/100, a mean average of 67.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 67.8/100. The standard deviation for this album is 10.7.

Features the first song ever released fully containing samples "Not paid enough". Other stand out tracks are "Beats and Pieces" and "People Hold on". Don't know why their top 10 hit and best track "Doctorin the House" was not included in the U.S. release of this album. Would have been an 80.

Very upbeat album which reminds me of Since You've Been Gone. Frontier Psychiatrist vibe in some of the songs such as Which Doctor? and Stop This Crazy Thing. I should get a copy of this again soon. Simple and I really enjoyed it.
