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 70.0/100, a mean average of 68.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 69.5/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.0.

Classy and vibrant at the same time. In my (not so) humble opinion, he's a slightly better singer than his mate Alex Turner.
My Fantasy and Telepathy are among my favorite songs made in the Isles in the last ten years.

My Fantasy and Counting Down the Days were my favorite here. I think singer can write some catchy lyrics. Makes them album very enjoyable.

One of the most fiercely underrated albums I've ever come across. Don't think it made it on to one 'Best of 2011' list by any major publication. Obviously Alex Turner gave him a bit of a leg up but that still doesn't change the fact this is a very good album!
