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 70.2/100, a mean average of 69.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 70.0/100. The standard deviation for this album is 16.5.

I also have to add that when M.I.A. makes the exact same album with more filler (Kala) critics cum all over it, and when she does something truly new and innovative the critics have their doubts. Draw your lesson from this: the album that gets the most mixed reviews is probably a masterpiece.

those chainsaws, the eccentricity, that manic production! M.I.A's third LP "Maya" is a slice of brilliant avant-pop/hip-hop/punk that'll certainly be remembered as the weirdest and most polarising piece of art from one of the most controversial sonic geniuses of our generation. A sorely underappreciated, boundary-pushing album with a great aesthetic, so much swagger and really catchy songs with scathing subtext as well. Everything you could ask from, and far more, from a pop star.

M.I.A. provides about half an hour of wonderful cohesive music. The rest is often interesting and often irritating layered noise which I only need to hear once.
