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 71.8/100, a mean average of 69.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 71.8/100. The standard deviation for this album is 17.9.

Shortlisted for album of the year at the 1993 Mercury Prize. The winner was the self titled album by Suede
I like the variety of instruments on top of hip hop beats. The bass and drums are from live players and they're great. Props to the funky bass and guitar, and jazzy sax. The album as a whole has quite a mash of genres: hip hop, trip hop, dance and so on, it held my interest and the music is so good all the way through. Some nice rapping on some tracks and I like the female backing singers. Minimal sampling, they borrow a few riffs but give credit. A really great and underrated album.

Way better than the 73/100 rating may imply.

I ended up liking this more than I expected. Very poppy and upbeat.

Only just good dance-pop/alternative dance album. Best 10 songs average is 79,0/100 and the album can get only just good 80/100. There is no other highlight than the title track "Connected". I'm rating this hit 95/100. Next best song is "Creation" 80/100. All other songs in the region of 70-75/100.
