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 72.9/100, a mean average of 72.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 73.0/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.8.

To be completely honest the songwriting is good, but I found it a bit underwhelming, I kinda prefer their older sound. (Edited)
I liked the album and was surprised. I need to listen to it more times for a better evaluation, but for now it's in my top 10 of 2025. (Edited)
