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 71.5/100, a mean average of 71.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 71.4/100. The standard deviation for this album is 16.8.

Industrial... psychobilly...? Points for predicting electro-swing, but novelty aside, this record is frequently annoying. I enjoy a few of the less swing-oriented tracks (I'll Meet You in Poland Baby," "Cold Day in Hell") that point towards Reznor's early work, but the swing tracks are just insufferable. A lot of that is due to Thirwell's overzealous vocals, which get tiring fast. I hope I never have to hear the song "Hot Horse" again in my life.
