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 73.2/100, a mean average of 71.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 73.5/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.2.

124th best album of 2024, seriously?
Top 2 for me, beaten only by The Cure
Average, just like every other album that Ride released after Going Blank Again. "I Came to See the Wreck" is the only standout track here.
Album Rating: 77.17

Disappointing. They've always been more about creating a sound than brilliant songwriting and lyrics. Not enough here of what they're good at, too much of what they're not. Unfortunately the mastering is horrendous, therefore the overall sound is buried beneath a veil of blended mush. Some poor lazy lyrics top off the disappointment.
