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 60.9/100, a mean average of 59.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 59.9/100. The standard deviation for this album is 23.4.

Maroon 5's best album. Having just sprung into popularity, every song is an attempt at making a radio hit.
This overly produced squeaky clean pop rock record has less filler then future albums.
It's the only Maroon 5 album that can be listened to start to finish
After this, every album to come is a blatant commitment to sell their hearts and souls for a radio single.
Here they are in between the indie Songs About Jane and The Voice inspired popularity of Adam Levine. It is easier to accept this album as a band making catchy pop rock and the songs here are pretty good.
A pretty catchy album, but nothing more. A tad bit overproduced. Nothing too spectacular, but nothing really bad. The B-side collection was a bit better.
Huh... Never would of picked this as a Bork favourite.
Better effort than their debut
