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 63.6/100, a mean average of 61.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 61.3/100. The standard deviation for this album is 21.3.

What do you get when you have a 40-something year-old with a good voice and mediocre songwriting ability (at best) who tries to write songs that 14-year-old girls will jam out to in their bedrooms? You get Train. Let’s start with the good things I have to say about Train: I don’t hate Train. They tend to be a bit of a guilty pleasure of mine every now and then. But I don’t think anyone, with any amount of musical knowledge, can say with conviction that Train has ever released a good album. Maybe a good song or two, but not a good album. Never a good album. There’s like, I don’t know, one or two songs on this album that DON’T make me want to kill myself, but the rest are just bad. I mean, just plain awful. Take “You Can Finally Meet My Mom" for example. Look up the lyrics. I won’t go into a long, in-depth explanation about how stupid and terrible it is (College Humor did a much better job of it than I’ll ever do), but it’s bad. Don’t get this album. It’s really not worth it.
OMG, have I listened to this album that much? It was great to see Train in 2009 on the Save Me San Francisco tour and while I have enjoyed their 2009-post pop hits, and their albums are very easy on the ears (despite the corny lyrics), I really have hated what they have become. OK so they were pretentious and took themselves too serious back in the Drops of Jupiter days, but at least those albums had some credibility to them.
