Rating metrics: Help 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 71.1/100, a mean average of 70.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 71.0/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.8.

Lyrically good, and Gotye is what you can call a full blown musician with his multi-displinary-intrumentary commentary.

All songs are a real sound experience.
My favorites are: State of the Art andSomebody that I Used To Know.
In your light and I feel better are the weakest songs on the album, but they are fine too.

I know we all heard that song to death, but it's not that bad. Impassioned lyrics and vocals, creative sound, catchy melody. Not bad... the rest of the album is OK too.
