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 72.7/100, a mean average of 72.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 72.7/100. The standard deviation for this album is 11.2.

If you've been in the bag for Destroyer for the last few albums, this one will do it for you.

Recalling his streamlined synth-driven masterpiece Kaputt, as well as his dreamier guitar work on Trouble in Dreams, Ken is a consistent and concise record with no obvious standouts. Sounding like an amalgamation of his previous records, Ken displays no real musical progression or growth for Destroyer (besides a surprising power-pop cut with Cover From The Sun) but nonetheless is another very satisfying outing from one of the greatest artists of the past thirty years.

A lot of hard work happens in the background to keep BEA running, and it's especially difficult to do this when we can't pay our hosting fees :(
