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 68.8/100, a mean average of 67.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 68.4/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.1.

No life in this. Dull as dishwater. Very disappointed. But on saying that I was amazingly surprised that 'I Hung My Head' is his composition. Johnny Cash's version is 1000 times better and done it way more justice

Solid album, typical Sting
Mercury Falling is one of Sting's weaker works. The set of songs aren't memorable and most feed into the perception that Sting is pretentious.
Singles like I'm So Happy I Cant Stop Crying are corny.
Hung My Head and Hounds of Winter are good songs.
I generally skip over this album in the Sting catalogue
Same old Sting, nothing new here.

Only just good album. Best 10 songs average is 79,7/100 and the album can get good 80/100. Bit too melancholy for me. Best songs are "I'm so happy..." 90/100, followed by "I hung my head", "Let your soul..." and "You still touch me" all 80/100. All other songs average 65-75/100.
Genre: Pop Rock
Guess it's average
