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 1% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 81.0/100, a mean average of 82.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 82.4/100. The standard deviation for this album is 10.0.

They and their music are criminally underrated on here. I'm shocked. Broken machine is a brilliant alt rock album and deserves better, i highly recommend it if you haven't listened yet.
This album is a truly masterpiece! Turn up the volume and enjoy.

There are some really great songs in here, but overall I will say I don't enjoy it as much as their first release. 8/10.
Super underrated album in 2017

I really respect these guys in terms of their musical talent, what they are trying to achieve and obvious influences. NBT’s self titled 2015 release was really awesome and sat comfortably in my 2015 Best Album List. However 2017’ Broken Machine doesn’t quite do it for me, it’s ok but lacks the Killer tracks to elevate above merely good. But I’m not ready to sell NBT’ yet and believe they have a great future . Here’s my prediction.. album number 3 will be a cracker and should elevate them to stardom. Buy Buy Buy !!!
Great album. I've listened to it on repeat since release. Love it very much!
My favorite album of 2017 so far. It sounds like they have so many influences from a lot of the artists that I listen to. Some of the songs on here are so raw, stripped down, and emotional, and then you'll have a HUGE political song. The blend of genres is perfect. The flow and progression of the album is outstanding. Not one weak song.
