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 71.4/100, a mean average of 71.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 71.3/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.6.

I like The Killers so the fact this sounds like them is not a bad thing it just makes it puzzling as to why Brandon would release this as a solo project especially when Dave Kuening & Ronnie Vennucci feature
Another good album from The Killers (frontman)

Brandon Flowers proves once again that he is a good artist.

I mainly agree with zdwyatt comments. This album is more similar to the latest Killers' releases (Day & Age, Battleborn) than the oldest releases (Hot Fuss, Sam's Town).

Favorite tracks: Jilted Lovers & Broken Hearts, Magdalena
Less favorite tracks: Playing With Fire, Was It Something I Said?

I didn't even know The Clock Was Tickin' was a bonus track, and it's easily one of my favourites. Crossfire is actually great.

Sounds exactly like a Killers record. That's not a criticism; I like The Killers. I just don't get what motivates solo releases that only mess up my album collection organization. (Sorry, Brandon, I am still putting this on the K shelf.) Incidentally, this is like a Springsteen album, if The Boss loved Las Vegas instead of New Jersey.

Fantastic solo album from The Killers frontman. Playing With Fire and On the Floor are some of the best songs he has ever written.
