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 is rated in the top 5% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 75.9/100, a mean average of 75.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 76.1/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.8.

Been years since I heard this but recently reconnected and loved it - forgot about those album tracks like King Volcano, Who Killed Mister Moonlight, Slice of Life, Honeymoon Croon and Hope. These include some lighter moments from eth masters of gothic

She's in Parties!!

There are some good songs elsewhere as well, but it is certainly spottier than their previous efforts

The final album from Bauhaus isn't their greatest, but it's not their worst either.
