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 70.8/100, a mean average of 69.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 70.7/100. The standard deviation for this album is 16.2.

The first three songs on this album set the standard for Mellencamp, which he couldn't match either on this album or his following efforts. Still encapsulated in those 3 songs is some terrific rock and roll.

E' bello ritrovare certi dischi abbandonati da anni e di cui ci si ricordava poco. Tipo questo esordio di John ex Cougar Mellencamp che, prima di diventare uno Springsteen minore e di trovare un suo spazio nel panorama del classic rock americano, omaggiava gli Stones fin dal titolo, poi con i ringraziamenti nelle note del disco e soprattutto con un rock'n'roll basico, costruito su inequivocabili riff, con il quale incominciava a raccontare le brutture del suo paese.

The first three tracks are pretty awesome and then it levels out after that.

The last party album the boy made, but it is still broken up by Pink Houses. An often underestimated talent.
