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 is rated in the top 25% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 73.4/100, a mean average of 74.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 74.1/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.7.

I loved this album. For a band to put out one of their best records so far into their career is a real accomplishments. Almost every song is good. "I won't Let You Go" and "The Day that I Found God" are among the very best Switchfoot songs.
I wasn't expecting much from Switchfoot after the horrible "Fading West" and the mediocre "Vice Verses", but this album isn't actually that bad! It was a pleasant surprise. Even though they go back to the Fading West territory that I hate in a few songs (I Won't Let You Go, Shake This Feeling, Hope Is The Anthem), there are still a few great songs in here (Float, Where The Light Shines Through, Bull In A China Shop). Not a consistent album though, too many low points.
