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 71.2/100, a mean average of 70.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 71.1/100. The standard deviation for this album is 16.5.

A good follow-up to their debut album and better than the Third Stage album. My favorites on are the title song, "A Man I'll Never Be", and "Feelin' Satisfied". (Edited)
Professionals all the way. Nothing sucks on this album. 85 (Edited)

I was pretty pleased with this album when I first heard it, but have long since outgrown it for the most part. That said it does have some good songs, and while it may not be a match for their first, it's far better than what followed. (Edited)
Everything I didn't like about their debut album, magnified. (Edited)
