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 68.3/100, a mean average of 65.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 65.7/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.1.

Not bad, every track has something special.

I've been a sucker for CATB's wonderful pop hooks and rock since their debut in 2014 and here on album number 3 they deliver once more with probably their best album to date
They certainly follow a set album formula which goes like this for 3 consecutive albums:
(1) Every track must be only one word , no more - one word . That's 33 one word tracks and counting
(2) Every album must begin with "The"
'The Balcony' (2014)
'The Ride' (2016)
'The Balance' (2019)
(3) Every album cover must be black with white a white image within
'The Balcony' has an image of 2 headless bodies white
'The Ride' has an image of a crocodile white
'The Balance' has an image of a bird white
(4) On every album the final track simply ends - no fade down , no wind down nothing. The final track just stops before it truly ends. This is my favourite one
(5) Every album must be 11 tracks - no more no less 11 . Its 11 tracks x 3 albums
(6) Every album must be good ! . Well this is highly subjective but personally I'm giving this one a massive tick
(7) If you play the 3rd song from every album backwards you hear "Paul Is Dead" ( this one may or may not be true )
