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 is rated in the top 15% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 74.1/100, a mean average of 72.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 74.2/100. The standard deviation for this album is 16.5.

Anyone who liked the singles; "Wolves" should like the album. Ben Howard has a very distinct voice and style that also plays very nicely on the ear. (Edited)

My feelings on this album are so mixed. I love the songwriting, but the production of this feels a little too forced.
