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 70.4/100, a mean average of 69.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 70.3/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.5.

Head music, is an underrated album. Alright, it's certainly not their best, but it's a good record. Some great songs here; electricity, she's in fashion, everything will flow, and, can't get enough, are all excellent Suede songs. Head music, deserves a bit more recognition, it's certainly better than, a new morning.

Good alternative rock album. Best 10 songs average is 86,3/100 and the album can get good 85/100. Best songs are "Can't get enough" and "Everything will flow" both 90/100, followed by "Electricity", "Savoir faire", "Down", "She's in fashion", "Head music" and "Indian strings" all 85/100. All other songs good 80/100, except "Hi-fi" average 75/100 only.

I like this album probably because I just love the idea of listening to Suede. Yet it has some great pop tunes inside.
