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 57.6/100, a mean average of 55.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 55.5/100. The standard deviation for this album is 26.4.

The musical equivalent of having something rank pass under your nose for a moment. I don't think this album is the worst album ever, just because some of the songs are merely bad and don't descend to the incredible depths of a "Believer" (God has abandoned us) or a "Thunder" (maybe the worst song ever written that can actually be taken remotely seriously). Imagine Dragons has declared the band's approach to be "genre-less;" file this record under evidence that they are also tasteless, shameless, thoughtless, warrantless, talentless, and pointless.
If this is what they call evolving, then I'm scared to hear Imagine Dragons' final form.
Favourite track: "Believer"

I've heard this on the radio so many times that I've eventually come to think it's decent. Maybe this is true of literally any music.

Big improvement over Smoke + Mirrors.
Apart from Believer and Thunder, the remaining songs are simply forgetable.
