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 70.3/100, a mean average of 68.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 70.1/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.1.

A good album. Pete Doherty is a great songwriter and this is an album displaying his talent. The only problem I really have with this album is that it is too long. Cutting a few songs from the album I think would make it a better album.

bit of a mess - to be expected - 20 mins ish of good stuff here, unfortunately there's also double that time of duds n filler.. (Edited)
A vastly underrated album should be much higher up in the overall chart
