Rating metrics:
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 72.2/100, a mean average of 70.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 72.1/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.4.

You can't mistake the Pretenders for Chrissie Hynde has such a recognizable voice. This is pretty much stock standard Pretenders. Nothing overly memorable on this and a few too many ballads for my liking.
Nice songs in here!
This album confirms I am a Chrissie Hynde fan. The songwriting and the sound is great.
Underrated album on this site, Stand By Me is a classic, Night In My Veins and Love Colours are great tracks. Most of the others are worth listening to, though 977 is a bit clunky and Tequila is a bit short.
