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 70.4/100, a mean average of 69.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 70.2/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.9.

The more I listen to this, the more I can't stop thinking how infectious the melodies are, even if a bit corny (in a 60s psychedelic kind of way) at times.

82.5... some really intriguing songs and some really boring ones. Tracks 3, 4, 5, 7, 10 and 11 were the more intriguing ones.

Great album, maybe not as good as their debut
notapawn88 03/19/2017 03:08 | #187640
Not nearly as good as their first album... kind of disappointed bc sun structures was one of my favs of 2014 and I still listen to it quite often.
