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 69.1/100, a mean average of 68.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 68.4/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.8.

I like it more than King of the beach, I find it more various and the songs don't sound all the same like in Kotb. I Can't dream is the only stand-out track

There aren't any unlikeable tracks, but nothing here is really all that memorable either and the longer it goes on the more restless I feel, especially since some of the tracks are a bit too similar to each other.

A lot of songs follow the same formula and a few flat choruses here and there, but it all feels like one long ride that sounds like a post-nirvana grunge band all revolving around the single and making every song based off of that one. All of the lyrics are fucking stupid. All of these flaws make this album work. Worth a listen.
