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 67.7/100, a mean average of 65.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 65.9/100. The standard deviation for this album is 16.4.

I quite enjoy this album and band. They are not to be taken too serious, they are a band about good times and being young. If you stop being pretentious and just enjoy the songs for what they are, fun little pop songs, you will like this album

Its hard to pin down quite why I don't like this album. The songs are alright, nothing special but they do their job which is to be half decent little pop songs.
The Wombats have never been the most innovative band, have never pushed boundaries and don't really do much that you can call special, which is evident on Glitterbug. The lyrics are cliche and occasionally don't make sense, the album is almost devoid of soul and originality and bar 'Emoticons' and 'Greek Tragedy' you feel like you're being sold all the way through by a band that lost their mojo and cuteness after their debut.
Don't listen to Pink Lemonade or This is Not A Party, boring and uninspiring.
