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 70.5/100, a mean average of 70.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 70.2/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.1.

Good hard rock/funk rock/psychedelic soul/electronic rock album. Best 10 songs average is 86,5/100 and the album can get good 85/100. Far and away best songs are "Black velveteen" and "Fly away" both 95/100, followed by "I belong to you" and "Can we find a reason?" both 85/100. All other songs in the region of 75-80/100.

Reaching too hard with the lyrics, but his grooviest sound to this point.
