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 62.5/100, a mean average of 62.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 62.1/100. The standard deviation for this album is 20.8.

Here is my final 4 2012 albums of 2012 albums which I must say I didn't like any of them and maybe I don't do them justice by this but they all have a bit of dancey very superficial atmosphere of ex Phoenix and they all sound a bit samey to me: - (nr 39 on the overall BEA top chart of 2012) - (nr…

Both of these had a song that made me come back and try the whole album only to see them in a different light and loving them.

Shortlisted for album of the year at the 2013 Grammys. The winner was Babel by Mumford & Sons (Edited)

Had a lot of potential, especially after the first four tracks, which was one of the strongest opening tracks for a pop album (cringe vocal effects in "Some Nights" aside), and takes a massive dip on "It Gets Better", and then get's back on track with "Why Am I the One", but then drops in quality again and never recovers. Some songs near the end are okay, the highs are pretty good for this record to get positive marks, but the lows hold back what this album could've been.
