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 71.6/100, a mean average of 71.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 71.5/100. The standard deviation for this album is 10.5.

Very good indie/folk rock album. Best 5 songs average is 92/100, album gets 90/100. Beautiful songs from beginning to the end. Best songs are "Mr. Rock & roll" and "This is the life" both 95/100, followed by "Poison prince", "Youth of today", "Run" and "Footballer's wife" all 90/100. All (!!) other songs 85/100.
Known for the title song "This is the life".
Interesting voice, but clear that this is a debut album.
