Rating metrics: Help 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 70.1/100, a mean average of 68.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 69.7/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.4.

Not a convincing record. It kind of washed over me and there is something "unfinished" about it. Can't put my finger on it though. Not unpleasant to listen to.

I'm not sure what album you were listening to, but this is easily the most reminiscent of Eeels' late 90s early 00s music they have made since then. An enjoyable listen if you already like Eels. You're right, it doesn't do anything new instead it does stuff that's old; however, it's well executed for the most part.
