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 73.7/100, a mean average of 73.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 73.8/100. The standard deviation for this album is 12.2.

A couple very nice songs, like Song on the Radio, Palace of Versailles, and especially the title track. Not quite as memorable or consistent as Year of the Cat, but a strong follow-up.

The album sounds very nice, with standouts being tracks 1 and 6, however it reminds me too much of "Year of the Cat".

A passable piece of 70's pop. The title cut is great the rest a mixed bag.
