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 69.0/100, a mean average of 65.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 65.5/100. The standard deviation for this album is 16.3.

Dreadful album of grunge offcuts that was recorded quickly as a throwaway to use up booked studio time and only supposed to be a limited edition release. It really shouldn't count as a proper Fanclub album.

As a long time TFC fan this was a really surprise to me. Only picked it up in April and it's so much heavier than the bands later stuff but I absolutely love it. Cracking album
