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 56.9/100, a mean average of 45.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 45.0/100. The standard deviation for this album is 24.1.

It's kind of hard to look at this as an actual album, it feels more like a collection of leftovers. It has several re-recorded versions of songs from their last album, and a number of songs have Brad Delp's vocals, when he had died 6 years before this album was released. It also features five different lead singers, which makes it feel even more inconsistent.
If you take it for what it is though, it's not too bad. The songwriting is definitely weaker than normal, and the mixing isn't that great either, but with the guitar tone and the vocal harmonies it does still have a lot of the hallmarks of a Boston album. I doubt it's ever going to be anybody's favourite Boston album, but it's pleasant enough to listen to in the background.

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 :(
