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 70.5/100, a mean average of 68.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 70.0/100. The standard deviation for this album is 19.6.

Jan20. 1st listen. I like the opening riffs of the title track. Way to hook me in when I wasn't really looking forward to listening to this album through. This song could become one of my favourites for the year in time. 'Criminal Energy' is worth more listens, but then things turn to the straight up pop that puts me off this band. It just sounds like they are trying too hard to get a radio hit over next few songs. 'All the Way' was the next song to get my attention again, but it is still pretty standard radio pop-rock. 'Diamond' was okay too, but very little after opening tracks for me here. Not a contender. 2.5/5
I like this album a little better than Integrity Blues because of the guitars. This falls somewhere behind Clarity, Bleed American, and Futures, but it's a great record, maybe their best outside of those 3.

if every song was like 555 this would be a super interesting project from the crew, I'd say it's still their best album since Futures so I had a good time with this record, don't know how much I'll revisit it though
