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 69.6/100, a mean average of 68.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 68.3/100. The standard deviation for this album is 9.7.

CSS (cansei de ser sexy) sure don't sound tired of being sexy anymore. Gone is the rebellious, oft-kilter brashness of their debut for a more polished, mature, professional sound, and their music isn't as strong as a result. Gone are songs like "let's make love and listen to death from above" and "fuckoff is not the only thing you have to show". They still have a bunch of good songs like "left behind" and "let's reggae all night", but the snarky attitude has been replaced by the air of the attitude that once was. They still sport some riffs copped from the Pixies and pump out punky-power-pop like Ladytron, but this now feels purposefully "made for pop radio".
