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 64.9/100, a mean average of 63.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 63.0/100. The standard deviation for this album is 19.5.

I really like wild, abrasive and obnoxiously loud albums (The Glow Pt. 2, Deathconsciousness, A U R O R A and Spirit They've Gone, Spirit They've Vanished), but this lacks the creativity of those projects. The production is so flat and uninspired. This is just throwing everything at the wall, hoping it'll stick.

I actually enjoyed this album quite a bit. There are definitely some tracks that are a little too much, but a lot of them take a very interesting angle on the original that's not too similar and not too whacky

[65/100] Some nice ideas on the album that sometimes work, but most of the time don't work. A lot of tracks start off nice, for example "Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds", which suprisingly has got good Miley Cyrus vocals on it. Overall, however, the album gets distorted in complete madness or the sound of exploding speakers. I must say I quite feared hearing the middle of "A Day In The Life" for this reason.

Of course, art is art and you may like it or not, but this album wasn't necesarry at all. In fact, it's quite otiose, apart from the fact that it really shows Miley Cyrus is a good vocalist. The songwriting of John, Paul and George saves the album.

BEST SONGS: She's Leaving Home, Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds

I think this is as good as it could have been–which is to say, very. Surely, it's not perfect, but gosh, there sure are many good ideas at work.
