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 has a Bayesian average rating of 69.1/100, a mean average of 67.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 67.2/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.7.

A vast improvement on his previous release this is Grant back to his best. There are some strong cuts here with those brilliantly funny and often biting lyrics present but the album feels slightly overlong and maybe an eight track album rather than a ten track one would have been better. Still a contender for one of the best records of the year.

After the slight blip that was the last album which was far too messy and confusing to be coherent, Love Is Magic is a return to the quality we’re used to. This time the 70’s style FM rock has merged completely with the synth-pop to create something that is unique and synonymous with John Grant alone. Thankfully the songs about his infamous ex have disappeared to be replaced with pithy and bitchy snipes at clubland...but in a nice way.
