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 artists can have several thousand ratings)

Chicago was a decent rock band before Terry Kath passed away. Note that the guitar solo on "Free Form Guitar" was done without using pedals - from original album liner notes. Some tracks have been over played on pop radio stations - Does Anyone Know What Time It Is and Questions 67 & 68. However, those listening expecting the late seventies early eighties banal balladry will be surpised and/or pleased that this album actually rocks. "Liberation" is an awe inspiring finale.

I like Chicago very much for me one of the best band and the singer Peter Cetera is a powerful songwriter.
