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 72.3/100, a mean average of 72.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 72.3/100. The standard deviation for this album is 12.1.

A surprisingly dance-y record from Saint Etienne who show that they've still got it with synthpop bangers and an intelligent set of lyrics firmly rooted in the love of music and the love of life. Similarly to the work of "Boards of Canada", the record does have a heavy tinge of nostalgia and floats on distant moments and bittersweet memories. A great pop album. (Edited)
