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 64.9/100, a mean average of 62.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 62.3/100. The standard deviation for this album is 24.5.

I'm surprised it's ranked so low. This is probably my third favorite Switchfoot album. Every track is solid. I also think it represents a risk for them in that with it they stepped a bit away from straight forward guitar rock to something more synth pop. I think it was largely successful.
This is by far the worst Switchfoot album. I can only bear to listen to 3 songs:
Say It Like You Mean It
Slipping Away
BA55
The rest is just a bunch of wanna-be anthemic songs where everyone is supposed to sing the chorus together and feel better. And the mastering is horrible. Skip this album and don't ever look back!
Repetitive at the end, but very catchy, Switchfoot's 2014 album is a good start for the year.
GREAT album!
