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 62.3/100, a mean average of 62.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 62.0/100. The standard deviation for this album is 20.8.

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

Good album. It hooked me right from the start with the Queen like intro and the ELO flourishes. It drags a little in the middle and picks up again at the end. I haven't heard Aim and Ignite so I cannot compare it to that.
Not sure why this album gets so much shit. It's a decent album, the first 4 songs or so are actually quite good, the queenesk intro, to the catchy 'some nights' and 'we are young', even if the auto tune in 'some nights' is absolutely terrible (and cringe worthy). The album's not very memorable but it's got some good pop tunes, of which there aren't many about.

There’s no wonder that fun. has drawn some comparisons to Queen. Listen to the first track on this album, the intro to “Some Nights" and you’ll hear what sounds to be almost exactly a Queen song. They manage to have that kind of a sound but still have their own unique touch to it, and that’s what I like most about this album. Lead singer Nate Ruess’s vocals are excellent and the instrumentation is superb. I highly recommend this album.
Guilty pleasure? Maybe so... the first half of this album is mostly good but it falls apart quickly thereafter. Some of the songs are plagued by needless overproduction, including overuse of auto-tune effects even though Nate is a pretty decent singer. When this album works, the songs are incredibly catchy and memorable.
I really dislike them. They were bad when they were"indie" and they're bad now. I'm in a band though and will say I wish I thought of the We Are Young chorus, but I really hate Some Nights, the song, the most.
