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 73.3/100, a mean average of 73.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 73.7/100. The standard deviation for this album is 11.4.

Incredible how, after all these years, Madness still sounds like Madness with the very typical singing, the piano and the sax and their typical sound which is not really ska any more but still... This album is an ambitious project as it's kind of a concept album with many tracks and one even more ambitious one at the end and to it is a bit of a miss. The band still stands out in their simpler but groovy tracks like That Close, Idiot Child and NW5.
Best Tracks: We are London, Forever Young, Liberty of Norton Folgate.
