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 60.0/100, a mean average of 59.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 59.3/100. The standard deviation for this album is 23.2.

The kind of album any good artist write in a week. Actually, make that about two days. Okay voice, really below average songs.

Hahaha I honestly can’t figure out if some of the downvotes are from Ed fans or haters.
Anyway, I think mediocrity is (or at least should be) the biggest insult to an artist. Ed probably doesn’t give a shit what I call him, but I don’t think Ed is an artist either.
Some songs like “The A-Team” seem to go in a right direction for a moment, but that spark is gone quickly. You must be pretty simple-minded to be blown away by this.
It’s about the voice, lyrics and messages? You see, music itself is not about two outta three of those things, and the vocals are not that great either. Maybe listen to some Fleetwood Mac or David Bowie - okay let me give some more recent examples - Drake or Grimes, to hear what real interesting vocalists sound like. Not convinced after that? Well, then it’s agree to disagree. (Edited)

This has two incredible songs in Small Bump and The A Team, and several other strong moments. Just because an album doesn't have huge production, or elaborate compositions, doesn't mean it doesn't have ten times the creativity and the substance as most albums that do have those things. The A Team is one of the smartest, most poignant songs of the last three years. This album is about the voice, the lyrics, and the messages.

There is no doubt that this artist has once been a fan of Damien Rice. And that he gets a lot of hate because he writes beutiful songs that kids like too. Yes "too". It's the Coldplay Syndrome or guilty pleasure that messes up someones I guess already fragile macho self-image. There is no wheel-inventions on this record and maybe that too is hard for someone to appreciate. Me too I'll never bother returning to this one by own initiative but if ever heard via someone elses speakers I will surely enjoy it and respect the artist' talent for m.o.r. songwriting.

This album has some really beautiful songs, such as The Team A or Lego House, but it really suffers from a lack of cohesion. 6/10.
