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 69.4/100, a mean average of 69.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 69.0/100. The standard deviation for this album is 11.3.

Solid album, the Manics keep doing what they do.
That said, Dylan and Caitlin might well be my least favorite song in their discography, whew.

And so the Manics continue to make great albums. Lung-busting anthems (International Blue), songs that champion fighting in the face of adversity (Liverpool Revisited), and music that swells and surges with every emotion the lyrics evoke (Distant Colours), this is a welcome return to the big music of Motorcycle Emptiness and A Design For Life.
The heart to Futurism’s brain, Resistance Is Futile is more than anyone could expect from a band this late into their career. It is brilliant.
