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 68.9/100, a mean average of 67.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 68.8/100. The standard deviation for this album is 19.1.

Good album, considered the comeback album by Oasis and it does it well. There some great tunes like Lyla and Let There Be Love that are anthemic and memorable much like past Oasis hits. The Importance of Being Idle is probably one of the best tracks Noel has ever written.

Didn't bother with Heathen Chemistry, but for some reason my interest in them returned when this album came out, so I bought it. It's alright, a lot better than Standing on the Shoulder of Giants. The songwriting duties are split up nicely, so that's probably what did it. It's not great but I'm happy I heard it.

By far the most underrated Oasis album. A return to the their heyday of Definitely Maybe/Morning Glory period. Modern day Revolver to me. Only one weak track and that is Noel's Part of the Queue. Considered their comeback album, but to me it is more than that, a great album.

I like The Impoprtance of Being Idle... Otherwise, this is an interesting album, maybe the best of their later work, but not near their 90s peak.
