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 73.1/100, a mean average of 73.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 73.3/100. The standard deviation for this album is 9.9.

A disjointed colloboration, but Grimes did conjure up her first masterstroke with "Vanessa"
The section of the album done by grimes is among her best work ever. It is beautiful, hypnotizing and sucks you in. The section of the album done by d'Eon is fucking trash. Shame that grimes didn't just make this a full album by herself and kick the talentless hack out of the situation.
