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 66.0/100, a mean average of 60.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 60.5/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.6.

Quite a listenable late eighties album. Best tracks are 'Hold On To Love' and 'In A Lifetime' in my opinion. I also like the very eighties synth based 'Becha' with its upbeat slap bass and brass stabs. John Anderson adapted well to the changing music scene, much as I adore early Yes, times had moved on with Genesis, Peter Gabriel, Asia etc all moving in a more 'pop/soft rock' direction.
