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 71.2/100, a mean average of 68.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 70.8/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.7.

Thompson Twins do tend to get overlooked and overshadowed by the eighties synth pop heavyweights. This album isn't quite on the same level as 'Into the Gap' but still a great album.

I guess I am alone in thinking the Thompson Twins produced some good 80s synth new wave music. However, I have to admit that I think it has been well over a decade that I have heard any Thompson twins song anywhere. Which is pretty sad given the hits they had. Lies is the top tune here
