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 71.9/100, a mean average of 71.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 71.8/100. The standard deviation for this album is 18.3.

But in general this is one of their best not…”

This has an "OK-Computer" sound style. Melodic, spacey and with some strong guitars and sentimental voice. I really enjoyed the listen, can't wait to hear the rest of this band's discography.

Unoriginal, formulaic & sentimental, if these guys were American, we'd OD on saccharine. But they're not. So, pass Go and collect your 200 dollars. Or ... kroner
