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 71.7/100, a mean average of 70.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 71.6/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.9.

Pure excitement with lots of great, great songs. The album is much more then radio friendly dance pop. This thing got a shining world of music in it.
But it's just too bad that apparently it's the only album of the band that I can really listen.

Love at first listening. Some songs are weird but eventually I ended up enjoying. Also the aesthetic of traditional/futuristic it's something very catchy to me (Edited)
Solid album.. By far the best debut album of any band.. (Edited)
