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 65.8/100, a mean average of 64.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 64.9/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.5.

*shrug*
I don't know. I like it a lot. Certainly a step up from the lackluster Strangers to Ourselves, and at least on par with We Were Dead Before the Ship Sank. Maybe not as revelatory as those first three or four records, but track for track, it's consistently enjoyable.

Ok honestly I wasn't crazy about the singles at first but as a whole I'm really enjoying the album. Surprised me cuz I thought I was just gonna be like meh.. but it's actually pretty cool.

I honestly didn’t hate it even though everyone is telling me I need to. Although not all of their experimentation hits the mark for me I still find this very enjoyable at times. I definitely feel like this will be a grower and people will look back at it in a better light.
