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 70.3/100, a mean average of 67.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 69.3/100. The standard deviation for this album is 11.5.

Clockface has some interesting songs, great arrangements, and certainly top-notch production, but the lyrics failed to capture my imagination like they did on Look Now. Overall, I'd say about half of the tracks (Newspaper Pane, Hetty O'Hara, the title track, Radio Is Everything in particular) really scratch the Costello itch, but the rest are just kinds of pityable throwaways. A solid attempt, but nothing special.
