Rating metrics: Help 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 61.9/100, a mean average of 61.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 61.3/100. The standard deviation for this album is 22.3.

After my personal favorite A Thousand Suns commercially flopped and left fans of their early work dumbfounded, Linkin Park was on the verge of extinction by lack of interest.

In Comes Living Things, a safe return to standard punchy riff rock with some mature screaming from Chester.

It's passable for the genre and at times feels like it is trying to serve two masters. The single Burn It Down doesn't sound like anything else on here. Makes you think it was a blatant attempt at a single on mainstream rock radio. It almost passes for hard pop.

The first track and Castle of Glass are highlights, if a bit repetitive.

It's good at what it does but Linkin Park trades in identity for survival; to stay a living thing as a band. And that is disappointing to me.

I really do find it intolerable. The first tracks decent but after that it's just cringe worthy.
