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 64.7/100, a mean average of 63.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 63.7/100. The standard deviation for this album is 21.2.

The first half is much stronger than the second half. This album, unlike his debut, has much stronger Brit-Pop influences. I am surprised to hear the song "Grace" on this album as I have heard it many times before, but I didn't know it was from this album. I wonder if it would have been a hit if it had been released as a single, as it is very popular nowadays. 9/10!

'Jesus In a Camper Van' ?, 'It's Only Us' 3 star Rating for the record...not a bad album the filler tracks are, the hits being the standouts.

Very good album. Best 10 songs average is 87,8/100 and the album can get very good 90/100. Best songs are "Strong", "No regrets", "Millennium" and "She's the one" all 90/100. All other songs good 80-85/100, except "Grace" is average only. Favourite!
Genre: Pop Rock, Britpop
