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 is rated in the top 17% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 74.2/100, a mean average of 73.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 74.3/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.6.

I think this album have some good and some great songs but is a bit messy! I so appreciate Blondie's versatility and adventure in their sound but this album feels a bit forced for some reason. I think if the order of the track were a bit different,t with a better flow will sound more consistent. Still a very good album!

Rapture has not aged well... but this is still a strong album bursting with infectious pop hooks.
