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 71.7/100, a mean average of 71.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 71.5/100. The standard deviation for this album is 12.6.

"Harden My Heart" and "Find Another Fool" are pretty good. Most of the rest is fine. "Critical Times" sucks, though. Good debut album, except for that 1 clunker. (Edited)
Great debut album with a blend of rock and pop with catchy lyrics and some powerful vocals. Almost every song is a hit which makes it difficult to pick my favorite. Today I’m going to go with Critical Times since I’m moving slow. today (Edited)
Some weak moments, and the record doesn’t age particularly well, but “Harden My Heart,” “Find Another Fool” and “Try To Make It True” still sound terrific. The band tried but didn’t have enough in the tank to sustain much past this nice debut.
