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 66.1/100, a mean average of 64.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 65.7/100. The standard deviation for this album is 17.4.

First time I heard a song of this album I was shopping, it was being played on the hotbed of quality music that is Asda Radio. I recognised Liams voice but couldn't quite put my finger on the Beatles album track he was singing and it really did my head in. Turns out it wasn't a cover but a Liam original. How he must have wept when he heard Noels solo album. (Edited)

I can't believe I thought at one point that this was ever decent to begin with. A bloated and faux-psychedelic side project that tries to recreate Revolver but fails spectacularly. The only bearable track here is The Morning Son, but you have to get through 12 other insufferable tracks to get to that one. I can't stand it anymore. (Edited)

Could've been worse... It has no identity but in general it works because of Liam's voice, I don't see them tracending though...
