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 72.9/100, a mean average of 72.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 73.0/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.4.

Shortlisted for album of the year at the 2000 Mercury Music Prize. The winner was The Hour Of Bewilderbeast by Badly Drawn Boy
Sorry, but I don't see the charm. The vocalists sound disinterested, as they were rehearsing rather than performing.

fav song: 'The past that suits you"
Possibly the best album of the 00's
