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 is rated in the top 16% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 74.0/100, a mean average of 72.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 74.8/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.4.

Pop record of the summer. This is such a jam through and through. Great party album.
“Pink Noise” puts all of its weight into its choruses. Each chorus will be supported with layer after layer of instrumental flourish and vocal hook. The problem it’s not built up by anything. The verses are all made of these flat stop start lyrics and instrumentals. When the choruses do hit, they feel hollow and without weight. The exemption to this is “Got me” that has a strong enough baseline to get some momentum. Not terrible but without the necessary charisma for success.
