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 59.8/100, a mean average of 57.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 57.1/100. The standard deviation for this album is 19.6.

This is my personal favorite Journey album. Made before Steve Perry entered the band, their sound was completely different, more Santana/Pink Floyd kind of. Nothing against Perry at all, as he's a fantastic pop rock vocalist. It's just that this version of Journey was less pop, more rock. Space rock all the way! Love it!
