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 68.5/100, a mean average of 67.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 68.3/100. The standard deviation for this album is 16.9.

This is a reasonable album – but… one must get past the over-earnest singing and arrangements. A bit like latter day Elbow, everything comes off as a little forced and the record suffers because of it. Stronger at the start than the finish.
Rating: Pleasing
Best track: Chasing Cars (Edited)

A very good album!
My favourite tracks are You're All I Have, Hands Open, Chasing Cars, Shut Your Eyes, You Could Be Happy and Open Your Eyes.
Great album. Evokes a lot of emotion through and through. A real pleasure to listen to. (Edited)

Very good alternative rock album. Best 10 songs average is 89,7/100 and the album can get very good 90/100. Very interesting building up structure in most songs. Far and away best song is "Chasing cars" I'm rating at a max. Followed by "Shut your eyes", "It's beginning to get me" and "Make this go on forever" all 90/100. All (!!) other songs pretty good 80-85/100.

First, Eyes Open begs to be the climax of a summer music festival. I played it 10 times in a row. Its so good it hurts the album. I skip songs looking for a song with the same adrenalin fix. Not going to happen. The rest of the album is moody. Its good I didn't realize I was listening music.
