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 72.1/100, a mean average of 72.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 72.1/100. The standard deviation for this album is 17.1.

In tracks 2-4, Einar's vocals feel somehow overdone and tiresome, and the band displays almost no musical surprises. However, the second half contains very valuable tracks with great vocals from Einar and lovely strings, guitar and keyboard sections. Special mention to the fantastic build-up of "On hold" and to the fan-collaborative "Nighttime Disguise" combining both the classic and the current Leprous.
