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 67.8/100, a mean average of 65.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 65.5/100. The standard deviation for this album is 20.6.

Guess I'll be the first one here. This is probably the first time I've seen an explicitly christian album go up to the #1 and so fast. Big landmark for christian music in 2019. The lyrics vary from cheesy emo to really insightful. Similarly the production varies from uninspired trendy trap pop to breathtaking often with strings (think Eminem meets Beethoven). There's nothing groundbreaking here, but the guy is clearly pretty talented.
Growing up immersed in Christian music and christian culture this brought back some memories of similarly angsty music (skillet, pillar, thousand foot krutch, toby mac) sharing a lot of the same themes of talking about struggles and hardships. Critically
This album got me into NF. (Edited)
