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 72.3/100, a mean average of 71.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 72.3/100. The standard deviation for this album is 12.3.

I really rate this one, it is either my 4th or 5th favourite album of theirs and it should be more appreciated. It's a really consistent set of up-tempo intricately arranged rock. Standout tracks are Cells which is about cancer, and the lead single It's All in My Mind which is a clever piece of song writing, but really it's all great.
