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 is rated in the top 11% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 74.5/100, a mean average of 74.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 74.9/100. The standard deviation for this album is 11.8.

A very poppy album for Byrne & Eno. Decent collection of songs unlike any other collaboration they've done in the past.

I believe that this is only good because there's Eno in it... can't stand more of this nowadays-Byrne.

...in the end it´s a disappointing Pop Album, similar but not as good as the Eno/Cale Album.
An OK pop record but I expected more from these two.
