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 68.8/100, a mean average of 68.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 68.1/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.3.

Ol Damo might look like a homeless hobo these days being holed up in Iceland living as a crazy hermit yet on this album he still somehow manages to climb off the park bench and newspaper blankets to give us a better than ok album. Warning! It’s slow and atmospheric and a bit of a snooze feast in parts and a gazzillion miles from his Britpop halcyon days but it’s DA’s unmistakable vocals & that’s a tick for mine
