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 70.0/100, a mean average of 69.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 69.4/100. The standard deviation for this album is 23.2.

Through the first 3 tracks of Bilateral, the sense of belonging and identity blossomed 10 fold for the production, the vocals, and drums. Overall the songwriting on this album is much more sound in comparison to the debut. While some rhythms and time signatures on the first album may have been slightly more out there, the all around feel and delivery of this album is an upgrade.

Forced Entry is a prog masterpiece.
