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 70.6/100, a mean average of 70.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 70.1/100. The standard deviation for this album is 16.2.

To me, this is one of their best albums.

Really enjoying this album at the moment. They are a band that has straddled many guitar-driven genres but what they do is bring melodic drama to the gritty under-belly of society and the Existential dilemma of living in a world of suffering. It’s a return to form and I highly recommend giving it a good chance to impress upon you.
The opening track is a cracker and The Prodigal is also well arranged and true to what makes Placebo a great band.
