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 63.6/100, a mean average of 62.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 62.8/100. The standard deviation for this album is 22.1.

Definitely front loaded, at the end there are some stunning guitar solos.

An extremely forgettable second half nearly nuked this album. Only the Young and Ask the Lonely should have been left on the album.

I think we can all agree that the first half is super and the second half is fairly abysmal.

Nowhere as strong as "Escape" but still a solid effort that had two songs that are overplayed radio standards.
