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 is rated in the top 2% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 78.4/100, a mean average of 78.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 79.1/100. The standard deviation for this album is 11.4.

Fucking love this album. Saw Alex open for the Killers in Melbourne a while back, and then checked out his stuff the day after - this is solid front to back, with catchy melodies and hilarious lyrics that skewer toxic masculinity while also showing empathy for the screwed up humans underneath all that toxicity. For some reason, I haven't really delved beyond this album, but will do so at some point, no doubt.
