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 70.6/100, a mean average of 69.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 69.7/100. The standard deviation for this album is 12.2.

Okay so when Fleshwater, a Vein.fm post-hardcore/alternative metal side project, dropped "demo" I was ecstatic. The demo version of "Linda Claire" sounded like the perfect merge of 90s hardcore and late 2010s indie female vocals. With enough DIY muddiness in the mix that it sounded unique and compelling, the 7 minute 3-song release was a sign of real potential. However, We're Not Here To Be Loved strips all that away and instead gives us exceedingly clean sterile mixes, demonstrating that Fleshwater is a band with great technical competency over the genre but no aesthetic taste whatsoever – "demo" was a fluke. The Razor's Apple is still an alright song, and there's nice moments like in the short Kiss the Ladder, but there's nothing else here really worthwhile.
