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 72.9/100, a mean average of 72.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 73.1/100. The standard deviation for this album is 9.6.

"Unearth Unreal” has a few things going for it. Hozier is a technically talented vocalist. The lyrics are well written. The ones in Gaelic are a particular nice touch. As the album unfolds, all these qualities are overwhelmed. Hozier’s performance becomes overwrought with him carrying his vocals like a chorus kid showing off. It bogs down any of the emotion root from the songs. The song writing becomes obsessed with writing about a relationship not working out. Each time it is brought up it’s less interesting than the last. The production alternates between dim acoustic backings and tacky gospel splatterings. The energy begins to take on that of a 90’s movie credit song desperately trying to hammer in the message. A good foundation built into an ugly house. (Edited)
