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 67.5/100, a mean average of 66.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 67.4/100. The standard deviation for this album is 18.5.

Sorry to those who love the Killers, but to me, they're repeating the same formula over and over again. I don't see how this sounds any different than Hot Fuss or Sam's Town... In fact, it's the same stuff, without the memorable hooks. I suppose it's listenable, but there's much better music that's worth my time.

This was the first album to truly disappoint a 13 year old me infatuated with the Killers. Even then I could tell there was something missing, which considering my taste in music when I was 13 isn't a good thing. Its listenable, and there are some good tracks, but there's a few disappointments.

Unlike Hot Fuss, this album has consistent quality and that's why I find it to be their best work. The album also benefits from having "Human" and "This Is Your Life" which I find to be the 2 best tracks The Killers have ever made.

What's the point of having a music-rating site when everyone just rates everything the same? I'm truly surprised about this album. I was expecting a very very bad album and got a very enjoyable experience. The songs themselves are not that great but I don't know, I got a good time out of it and I would listen to it again in full. There are much better records out there and The Killers have 2 much better albums but this is fun and I like fun. I would give this a 7/10 but I'll be honest with myself and give it a 7.5 because it made me smile throughout. (Edited)

Surprisingly fun. I wasn't expecting to like this at all. Completely missed it when it came out.
