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 68.2/100, a mean average of 65.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 65.4/100. The standard deviation for this album is 12.5.

Agree with Daredevil - Where Do The Boys Go? was, IMO, their best single release...this is the album of theirs I go back to listen to most, after ROY.

Although not as strong as MWH's first album Rhythm Of Youth, this one was solid. I always thought this one falls into the overlooked/underrated category of albums, as it was pretty much ignored when it came out.
