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 73.1/100, a mean average of 72.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 73.2/100. The standard deviation for this album is 12.6.

I didn't dig at first, and then it grew on me. Idk, at times it was pretty good. The clever lyrics at times. Nothing crazy great, but enjoyable enough.

It's one of those albums that's great when you have a hangover, or maybe on a road trip, but isn't necessarily artistically cutting edge. Nevertheless, Barnett still stars as a lyricist on an album that otherwise bears Vile's stamp in terms of music.

Over Everything and Continental Breakfast are the fruits worth picking on this one. The rest are decent covers and B-side quality ditties.
