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 69.2/100, a mean average of 66.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 68.8/100. The standard deviation for this album is 17.8.

Makes for a decent debut, spawning a few hit songs for 3 Doors Down, such as "Kryptonite" and "Be Like That". But outside of those two, it's just above average at best.

Not awful. Average post-grunge rock.
Despite many of the songs sounding the same, The Better Life manages to entertain.

A few really good songs. A few pretty bad ones. Pretty average.

People often make the mistake of comparing 3 Doors Down with the post-grunge crappers like Nickelback and Hoobastank, but if you actually listen to the album, you'll see that it's actually more like a heavier, poppier version of REM's Automatic For the People.
