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 65.0/100, a mean average of 62.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 62.8/100. The standard deviation for this album is 20.9.

At this point, you know what you’re going to get for an album by The Fray. At first they were interesting, somewhat different, but now they’re starting to grow stale. A band needs to change and progress over time. The same thing has happened with Daughtry. At first they were interesting, but now after doing the same thing for three albums, it’s getting boring and predictable. This whole album is just soaring with mediocrity. The songs aren’t terrible by any stretch, but they certainly aren’t good. If you happen to already be a big fan of The Fray, you’ll probably enjoy this album as it is not different from their past two.
This album is good but not their best piece of work. The good thing about The Fray is that they are staying true to their original sound. Great piano melodies wiith nicely produced music. But there is nothing special about this album, it's lead single 'heartbeat' is average and I think a better single could of been chosen. Some of my favourites are 'I can barely say', '1961' and 'The Fighter'. Worth buying though.
