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 71.4/100, a mean average of 70.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 71.4/100. The standard deviation for this album is 16.9.

Placebo doing what Placebo do and doing it well but just lacking that killer song to make this great
Out of their albums that I 've listened, this is the weakest. Overall, 50/100.
By far, my least favorite album by placebo, and I have 3 of theirs in
My top 100 of all time.
New drummer, new era. Something fresh from the last works.
