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 68.6/100, a mean average of 65.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 67.1/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.7.

Not their best, still kind of decent, some tracks are fun. They just went too mainstream and EDM, they should have stayed with the dirty disco style. (Edited)
I love all their albums except this one. There are some strong tracks here, but it also feels very faceless and the rap tracks are embarrassing. (Edited)
