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 72.5/100, a mean average of 71.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 72.5/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.8.

Far from his best, but an unexpectedly good comeback nonetheless.
This was definitely a mainstream comeback. My favorite tracks are Musicology, Life ‘O’ The Party & Cinnamon Girl. It was a nice return to form after working on more experimental music.
We all lose our edge eventually.
Cinnamon Girl is one of my favorites, but the rest of the album is very forgettable.
A fun album with its moments but nothing near anything great.
A great album. I didn't even buy The Rainbow Children but this one felt like an amazing comeback. The songs are all great, and it's shorter, feeling leaner and more powerful than anything he'd done in a long time.

A lot of hard work happens in the background to keep BEA running, and it's especially difficult to do this when we can't pay our hosting fees :(
