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 71.2/100, a mean average of 70.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 71.2/100. The standard deviation for this album is 12.1.

“In the meantime, while waiting for me to kick my own ass into gear and actually commit to something (and hopefully proof read too, that would be fucking swell future me), I thought I'd share some of the new records I've been loving the most this year and my thoughts on them: I'm not gonna do that…”

Cate Le Bon just needs to get louder and grittier, but for what it's worth this is her best mixed project yet and probably will (deservedly) finally win her a Welsh Music Prize after arguably multiple snubs. Will be fun to hear these songs live in a month's time.

I enjoy Cate Le Bon’s records very much and this one doesn’t disappoint. It’s great to hear a Welsh artist who’s making such left field and artistic music.
