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 is rated in the top 15% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 74.2/100, a mean average of 75.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 75.0/100. The standard deviation for this album is 12.7.

Nice 80's throwback album. There's nothing new here in terms of sonic ideas, but the songwriting is great.

One of 2011's best albums. Clearly influenced by New Order!

"Party Talk" is perfect.
A really good album partially ruined by low, hard to understand vocals. The best songs are the ones with the clearest vocals (After The Moment, Your Tomb, Beauty Above All)
