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 63.2/100, a mean average of 62.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 62.2/100. The standard deviation for this album is 19.5.

Criminally underrated IMO. Many great songs lurks within this album, such as I Am Waiting, The Calling, and the epic Endless Dream. (Edited)
This record just makes me sad. Oh, how the mighty have fallen. (Edited)

Endless Dream is incredible (Edited)
An uneven album but Endless Dream should be recognized as the classic it is. (Edited)
