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 58.9/100, a mean average of 55.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 55.6/100. The standard deviation for this album is 24.9.

Somehow, this album is even more boring than that shitty ass album cover.
Absolutely love his voice, and this is better than his debut, but I find that almost every one of his songs should be a minute longer. Bit of a weird critique, I know, but I hope that this album will sell well enough that he'll have total control over his next album, and he'll do something grander. The instrumentation is a little too clean as well, but the scale is definitely the biggest issue here.
