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 72.7/100, a mean average of 71.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 72.7/100. The standard deviation for this album is 19.7.

Very steady album that thumps along. Mark Tremonti's a skilled guitarist who plays with grunt. Myles Kennedy is one of the modern era's great vocalists. Some killer heavy tunes on this. Vocals are very similar sounding to Slash with Myles (why wouldn't they be. It's the same guy), but a lot of the tracks on this are of a higher quality. However, it's a 50/50 of memorable v's unmemorable tracks.

It’s a reasonable listen but rather formulaic. Nothing too inspiring or radical but a decent enough album I guess. Really don’t listen to it that often. Not one to pull out on a regular basis.

Above average album, the title track steals the show and puts everything else, from everyone else, in the shade.

It´s extremly repetitive and sounds so melodramatic and simply boring. One standout song, which is the title track and the rest is simply unmemorable.

This is my favourite album of all time - I never get bored of it. Ties that Bind instantly got me hooked - an amazing track to start the album.

Title track is the greatest song I've ever had the pleasure to listen to. Really listen to the lyrics, they make my hair (what's left of it) stand on end. Shivers down the spine stuff!!
