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)

It's polished, safe, and somewhat predictable at most turns. There's some nice moments, and the layering of instruments sounds good. It's perfect music for a coffee shop. Matt Derning does an album-long impression of Stuart A. Staples (Tindersticks). They often remind me of a watered down Arcade Fire. 'Green Gloves' and 'Start a War' are the best tracks. It's ok.
