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 71.1/100, a mean average of 69.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 71.1/100. The standard deviation for this album is 19.4.

I got into these guys watching some live video of theirs. Amazing performances/musicianship. The songwriting is ok. Very 90s feel on this record and kinda not in a good way. My sister makes fun of it and says only people that wear Birkenstock sandals and blueberry beer will listen to this album. You must also have a jean button up shirt or jean jacket while listening to it.
First 4 songs are possibly the most solid on the album for this time around.
