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 70.8/100, a mean average of 68.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 70.6/100. The standard deviation for this album is 19.2.

Handwritten is another excellent and underrated record from Gaslight Anthem. There are so many excellent tracks here: 45, Here Comes Your Man, Mulholland Drive, Too Much Blood and title track are all excellent.

Track Pick: Handwritten
Gems: 45, Here Comes Your Man

Definitely not their best but they still make good rock... unfortunately more generic than their previous releases.

Favorite tracks: 45, Handwritten, Mulholland Drive

Not bad album, National Anthem is the stand out track, the rest of the tracks are fairly standard and possibly a little dated.

The working men and tune crafters march on. They're not aiming for the moon here, just aiming for the crowds and the ones they have converted. Would appeal to one who misses Oasis and Blur and wouldn't mind hearing a guitar band from across the Atlantic.
