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 70.4/100, a mean average of 68.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 70.2/100. The standard deviation for this album is 16.9.

they sound like a 15 years old teens band trying to create a cool electronic/pop song. very disappointing after the very good The English Riviera :/

Metronomy are awesome and this is proof. It's like a retro-video game soundtrack mixed with modern synths and guitars.

This could have been better, but it was way too safe. English bore-core. Rubbish.

Metronomy has this special retro, yet still progressive sound. And I know they have a solid fanbase that will probably be pleased with this record. Personally, I'm not crazy about this sound, but it's certainly not bad at all. There were a couple times where the vocals actually reminded me of Arcade Fire, a little Wilco here too, given the retro sound. But I like both the aforementioned bands work much better.
