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 is rated in the top 25% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 73.7/100, a mean average of 74.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 74.6/100. The standard deviation for this album is 12.3.

Yeah I’ve been a huge fan of these guys since crashing into our consciousness in 2016 with the excellent breakthrough release ‘Hills End’ and then backing it up with the even better ’For Now’ (2018)

2020’s ‘ The Glow’ isn’t terrible by any stretch but it’s definitely a step or two behind its predecessors in terms of song quality and those infectious DMA melodies we know and adore. Clearly the band have gone for a more commercial feel with deep techo beats not heard before on tracks such as “Life Is A Game Of Changing”, and “Cobracain” but the DMA blueprint remains with some great tracks ( “ Criminals” and “Strangers” which sounds suspiciously like New Orders “Hellbent”), some ok tracks and some stinkers to pad things out ( I’m of course referring to “ Life is a Game”, “Round and Around “ and closer “ Cobracain” )

We expect some hit and miss with any DMA album unfortunately ‘The Glow’ misses more than it hits
