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 is rated in the top 11% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 74.6/100, a mean average of 73.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 74.7/100. The standard deviation for this album is 17.6.

“"I'll morph to someone else." Yes, another Twenty One Pilots album. I'm sorry if my midwesternness offends you, but you're still here, so I must be doing something right. Regardless of your opinion of me, the midwest, music associated with the midwest, and my thread, Trench is a fantastic album…”

“Just listened to: My recommendation is: Hear me out! I know it's cool to hate on Twenty One Pilots because they're the new hot topic group every middle schooler loves, but their music is actually pretty great IMO. As an Ohioan, I'm legally obligated to listen to every album and recommend it…”

Im surprised twenty one pilots could make an album as great as this to be honest, they have matured a lot musically since there early more mainstream stuff.

The production is very consistent from start to finish and some of the ideas on here are really interesting and work so well, such as the song "Nico And The Niners" where the instrumental is sampled and played backwards near the end of the song to finish off with quite a psychedelic rap verse.

Its a very light hearted album and not to be taken too seriously so if you can deal with "white pop rap" and sometimes odd vocals I would recommend you give this a listen. ( It did take the second time round for me to appreciate it more)

Great listen, probably their best - not mainstream like their previous works but shows the band is improving in quality and maturity.

Trench is Twenty One Pilots best yet, no question about it. The production is very smooth, but manages to be a lot more expressive than their previous efforts. The drums are punchy and the vocals aren't sitting way on top like they are on Vessel and Blurryface. There's not really a weak track on here either, though I must admit, I zoned out on Neon Gravestones. I never really totally lost interest with this thing though. This is definitely the Twenty One Pilots album I will come back to the most, it's really enjoyable. (Edited)

I never disbelieved Twenty One Pilots in any way, actually I find their major hit "Stresses Out" one of the best songs to go mainstream. But, the fact is that despite that, the problem with the band is that It is inconsistent and sometimes pretty edgy.

But "Trench" is somewhat diferent, It seems like a more mature and focused album. And that really paid off. Kind of surprised by the direction they took.
