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 63.6/100, a mean average of 61.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 61.0/100. The standard deviation for this album is 22.4.

Gotta say it keeps growing on me haha. It's overblown for sure but it's still pretty cool all the way through. Most crunchy, heavy and distorted and just the most Pumpkins they've sounded in some time. Corgan is such a goober with this story he came up with but I still dig it haha.
Very much comes across as the SPs "Sandinista". Around 3/4 of the tracks are awesome. The rest is a bit meh. Definitely a rewarding listen though and maybe the best thing Billy Corgan has done in many a decade.
