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 71.7/100, a mean average of 70.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 71.6/100. The standard deviation for this album is 16.5.

Couple of great tracks. Mostly though, it just pleasantly plods along with a rhythmic beat. Nothing to get overly excited about. Good but works best as nice background music.

Half of the songs are a bit uninspiring, but the other half make this a great album. The singles are great obviously (Run, Chocolate, Spitting Games) but the last two tracks (Somewhere A Clock Is Ticking and Same) are my personal favourites. Chocolate also contains one of my all-time favourite lyrics - "You're the only thing that I love, Scares me more every day".

Very good alternative rock album. Best 10 songs average is 90,0/100 and the album can get very good 90/100. Far and away best song is "Run" - maximum rating. Followed by "How to be dead", "Spitting games" and "Grazed knees" all 90/100. All other songs good 80-85/100. Favourite!

Probably Snow Patrol's best. It stands out more than the others, which is a big deal considering how samey Sonw Patrol can be.

Somewhere a Clock is Ticking is a nice surprise near the end. Run is the big anthem and Same was a decent ending.
