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 70.3/100, a mean average of 69.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 69.0/100. The standard deviation for this album is 23.7.

Contains their four Top 10 hits and 12 Top 40 hits in total. My favs are "Chance", "Wonderland", "Where The Rose Is Sown", "Look Away", "The Teacher" and "Harvest Home" which are all spine tingling Celtic rock classics. Only tune that is sadly missing is "Restless Natives". Although never released as a single and doesn't appear on any of their albums, it is one of Stuart Adamson's masterpieces in which he wrote for the film.
Great compilation album. Big Country had quite a unique sound. I've never heard anything like them prior to or since. A band that could have been huge...
