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 72.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 72.9/100. The standard deviation for this album is 11.5.

Still catchy, but not as memorable.
A bit uninspired compared with earlier albums. Nothing really stands out. A bit boring to be honest.
Tier List for my preferences of the tracks on this album:
Top: 1-4
High: 5-9
Tails off toward the end. I can never get enough of the clean, crisp guitar work in "Victim of Love".

The first half of the album much better
