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 58.7/100, a mean average of 45.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 45.0/100. The standard deviation for this album is 25.8.

Even though I swore to never return to a Smashing Pumpkins contemporary release after 2020’s diabolically bad ‘CYR’, against my better judgement I’m back for ‘Atum Act 1’
Claimed to be a third and concluding sequel to ‘Mellon Collie And The Infinite Sadness’ and its follow up ‘Adore’ (since when was ‘Adore’ a concept album?) this album picks up where ‘CYR’ left off in all the worst ways with uninspired insipid track one after the other with the only respite being a merciful end to the album. Hell, the “Vengabus - ish” “Hooray” is hands down the single worst Smashing Pumpkins track in history and that really is saying something considering the bar has been set pancake low in recent times (if you’d have told me 25 years ago I’d be comparing the Smashing Pumpkins to Vengabus I wouldn’t have believed you)
Unfortunately there are 2 more of these to come in 2023 - Act 2 on 31st January and Act 3 11 weeks after that. Please feel free to post reviews so I can read them because I will not be listening to them
Hand on heart I swear this time I am done with Billy Boy
