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 71.6/100, a mean average of 71.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 71.0/100. The standard deviation for this album is 12.8.

"begone dull care" is a strong album based on the strength of smash club tracks "hazel" and "bits & pieces" and a consistent quality throughout its soft-funky 8 tracks straddling the line between gary numan, 90s ambient and 00s house. "parallel lines" slinks out with soothing synth and drum machine with its "leers, jeers, whispers & tears". Same setting on "sneak a picture" with gurgly synths and effects. The other 6 songs are good, the booty-shaking dance floor quality of "bits & pieces" and "hazel" really make this album. "hazel" has one of those awesome "silent moments" where the bridge stops in a mini-screamfest to a second of anticipatory silence before the chorus jumps back in.
