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 61.5/100, a mean average of 57.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 57.7/100. The standard deviation for this album is 22.8.

Not very complex or something, but a very fun album.
I just can't understand why when the Beatles writes a sad song then it's poetic and beautiful, and when they write a sad song then it's for emo faggots.

Awful awful awful. Simple pop-punk, coupled with the most self-indulgent whiny lyrics around. What's worse, is these are grown men singing about the struggles of being a misunderstood teen.
