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 73.4/100, a mean average of 73.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 73.5/100. The standard deviation for this album is 11.3.

A fairly ordinary album excluding the brilliant Walk Idiot Walk. Much like Veni Vidi Vicious, the majority of the tracks are too short and fast for me to properly enjoy them.

Up tempo garage rock. Short sharp feel good tracks. What you expect from a Hives album. Another one of two tracks like 'Diabolic Scheme' would be good, as the change of pace gives the album a break from just having one speed and makes the tracks that follow it more enjoyable. Great album. I like it.

It doesn't have any songs quite on the same level as "Hate To Say I Told You So", "Outsmarted", or "Main Offender", but this is a more consistent album than Veni Vidi Vicious.
