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 70.5/100, a mean average of 69.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 69.8/100. The standard deviation for this album is 12.5.

This is a band you'd love to hate. Sometimes the music feels a bit like a parody of rock music, a bit like the Swedish The Hives, but after a while one can't be anything than impressed by their wall-of-sound sound with tracks that contain elements of both punkrock and 80's Van Halen style hardrock.
In any case a refreshing sound in an era where good old rock music seems to be declared dead.
