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 72.1/100, a mean average of 71.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 72.1/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.4.

Great crooning. Very morosely soothing. Packed with songs with great choruses. Much better than I thought it was going to be

It's a second-rate "Quarry" sequel. I think disappointment as a career-rebound-followup is what sunk this into my memory recesses. But it's a fun, Morissey tongue-in-cheek album. He doesn't sound as passionate about his work this time around, like this is a cover for a headlining tour or a way to put his name out there to save some Canadian seals, but it's still good music. i feel his longing in "i will see you in far off places", his ironic non-absence in "you have killed me" and believe his non-insistence "in the future when all's well". But i also feel his non-commitment to a full-fledged album, which is why this album almost didn't make it, and i'll probably feel shouldn't've a year from now.
