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 70.5/100, a mean average of 69.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 69.3/100. The standard deviation for this album is 10.3.

The title of this album fits it perfectly as this album honestly is a big mess. This is an album that can only be made over a lifetime of experience in film scores and multiple genres. Danny uses his experiences to put together this beast of an album. 18 tracks are honestly quite a bit for an album and makes this one drag out quite a bit making it hard to listen to over and over. There are few on here that are quite boring. However, there are some songs on here that are incredible. The heavier hitting songs on this one are what stand out to me the most. The combination of heavy riffs and an orchestra leave your jaw being dropped quite often. The biggest stand out to me is the album’s opener Sorry. This track still blows my mind every time I hear it. Anyways this is definitely an album everyone should give a listen at least once.
