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 70.1/100, a mean average of 68.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 69.9/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.2.

Generally Perfect Symmetry is their most solid and mature effort. I was hoped it would get better consideration.

Good piano-synth-rock/pop-rock album. Best 5 songs average is 81/100, so album gets 80/100. Album without lows, but especially without highs. It isn't nearly as good as "Hopes and fears". Best song is "You don't see me" 85/100. All other songs 80/100, except two with 75/100.
I loved Spiraling when it first came out.
