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 is rated in the top 6% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 75.8/100, a mean average of 75.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 76.8/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.5.

True Colours and Waiata were strong pop albums, but they felt somewhat facile and unsatisfying. With the help of producer Hugh Padgham, Split Enz explored more interesting sonic territory on Time and Tide, without sacrificing the pop hooks, resulting in the most satisfying album of their pop era. The album was informed by difficulties in Tim Finn’s life; he’d gone through a marriage breakup and a nervous breakdown, and these travails are reflected in songs like ‘Haul Away’. Malcolm Green left after Waiata, and Noel Crombie took over as the drummer, while bass player Nigel Griggs is unusually prominent, contributing to four of the album’s songs.
