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 68.6/100, a mean average of 67.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 68.4/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.7.

First listen impressions: I kinda feared it would be terrible. Fortunately, it isn't. Most Killers melodies don't grab me on the first listen (I disliked both singles on the first listen but now I love them), so I didn't really remember to many melodies and hooks but I liked the overall sound of the album.

Seems more consistent than the last two albums, but even that could change with more listens. Maybe only 1-2 weaker songs I didn't really liked.

But most of all, so glad those guys are back, it's been a long time coming.

Three listens in, and it's begin to annoy me that no one is commenting on this.

The Killers are back. That's for sure. I may not consider this album a favourite of theirs (it definitely is not in the same class as their first two), but it has some focus and energy and it makes you feel like they still have something to say.

It sounds to me like the production isn't quite as polished as recent releases, which is a positive. It sounds like a good band playing real music! Im a fan of this album!

I've been hooked on this album since September and have finally gotten around to shout its virtues . 'Wonderful Wonderful ' is absolutely wonderful .

How good is this album ? Well The Killers completely lost me after 'Sams Town' to the point whereby I believed The Killers were washed up well past their best .Fast forward to 2017 and I recall sitting on a train scanning SPOTIFY New Releases and firing up 'Wonderful Wonderful' thinking this will be a load of garbage and TBH they had me at track 1 'Wonderful Wonderful' . By the time I hopped off the train I'd nearly listened the album twice knowing this was easily one of 2017's best ,and so it proved to be.

People The Killers are back and this is one killer album.

In my top 3 for 2017...........easily
