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 72.8/100, a mean average of 70.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 73.1/100. The standard deviation for this album is 20.1.

Hearing of them now for the first time it's a shame they only had one album. It was the twee pop influences they bought to the post-punk music that…”

Exuberant and playful female-led rock music. Not exactly post-punk, or new wave, (though there are some new wave synths), has more in common with mid to late 80's jangle-twee indie. Lots of great songs, though the abrasive guitars and high-pitched vocals get a bit tiresome. 'Too Big For Your Boots' and 'Waterbed babies' stood out, though most of the songs are catchy and memorable with interesting lyrics.
