Rating metrics: Help 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 67.9/100, a mean average of 65.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 65.9/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.7.

My favourite Shikari album by a mile - it's got the typical energy and anger with tracks like Juggernauts and Solidarity, but compared to their previous album there are a few nice ballads on here that really add to the diversity of the album (Gap In The Fence and Wall). Plenty of great songs on this album - my highlights are Juggernauts, Wall, Step Up, Solidarity and Antwerpen. Weak songs are The Jester and Fanfare For The Conscious Man.
