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 59.8/100, a mean average of 52.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 52.4/100. The standard deviation for this album is 21.6.

I don't really know what to give this album. I could not get into it for the LONGEST time, because I just didn't like it. But then I finally sat through the whole thing and got to the final 5 tracks. If they released the last 5 tracks as an EP, it would be one of my favorite releases of any band I know of. They're just hidden behind a wall of crap that's hard to get past ... I don't really know how to rate this album as a result.
