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 is rated in the top 24% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 73.6/100, a mean average of 73.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 73.9/100. The standard deviation for this album is 11.0.

Metric achieve their most consistent and well-put together record since Fantasies in this indie rock album. With engaging and varied material and quite possibly their best lyrical content ever, Art of doubt is sure to get the respect it deserves, given some time. My pick for best album of 2018.
The first half of the album is more consistent but the second half has some true gems.
Best: Now or Never Now, Dressed to Suppress, No Lights on the Horizon
Worst: Art of Doubt
This is the best album Metric has made since Fantasies. The production is more raw and punchy than Synthetica and Pagans in Vegas. The songwriting has also improved, with almost every song being catchy and punchy as can be. The only song that I didn't enjoy is Risk. It's not bad by any means, but it's the most paint by numbers song on the album. Overall though, the album is great! Definitely one of Metric's best albums.
