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 71.0/100, a mean average of 70.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 70.8/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.1.

Classic NWOBHM album, just picked up the re-release on spatter vinyl. I would love to have seen these guys in their heyday, the closest I got was the single version of Wheels of Steel (which I seem to have lost or sold over time) and salivating over the patch on my best mates, older brothers, denim jacket. Yes, bloody sad really! But a cracking metal album this be.

Great album. One of the staples within the NWOBHM era. Full of classic killer tracks. Worthy in any metal collection

Denim and Leather is an anthem filled album. It's hard to say which tracks are the best but if I had to pick I'd say Princess of the Night, And the Bands Played On, and Denim and Leather. The whole album is worth a listen though.
