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 67.2/100, a mean average of 66.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 66.8/100. The standard deviation for this album is 18.8.

Surprisingly decent record. No real standout tracks, but lots of little details will keep you interested.

Not that I've been following them fanatically at any point of their career, but this sounded refreshingly different from what I remembered from them, credit is due for mixing it up.

A bit of a slight step into a poppier sound, but not a bold enough of a choice that the Foo Fighters' trademarks are lost. Medicine at Midnight is consistently pleasing, but doesn't really have any standout tracks. Its just a quick and fun listen.

On first listen, it's a record that only seems to spark into life every so often. Overall, it seems to have a softer and poppier feel and is a reasonable progression from where they were with Concrete & Gold. The band still sound like they are having fun and, with the Foos, that's the point. Having given the record a few more listens, the songs come alive a lot more readily. There are some genuinely good grooves on here and it is a much more rounded album than C&G, which gradually became less pleasing to my ear. Their live show will still be unmissable...eventually.

This is by far the worst album in their discography in my opinion. Really weak effort, I feel completely disappointed.
