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 15% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 74.1/100, a mean average of 74.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 74.6/100. The standard deviation for this album is 10.4.

Books is fab, a little too samey overall but solid enough.
Individually there's not a bad track on the album but they're all a bit samey

I'm afraid I have to disagree with meltchett: this is one of his most consistenly good albums (Edited)
There are some good songs here but there is so much filler. He is in danger of doing a McCartney and forgetting how to be relevant. I'm sure he is happy with what he is doing but it just doesn’t spark. (Edited)
