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 73.0/100, a mean average of 71.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 73.0/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.0.

A nice album with the highlights being My Favourite Game, Higher and Erase/Rewind, but too many tracks that don't offer anything

Despite the website’a rankings, Gran Turismo tends to be the weakest Cardigans album for me. The high points are definitely the weakest and less frequent, and has more slog than any of the others. Still good, but a weak point in an attempt to rebound from the success Lovefool brought.

Best songs: Junk of the Hearts, Higher

Worst: Nil (it is such a lame way to end the album, limping to the end like a dead dog)
