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 37.1/100, a mean average of 34.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 34.1/100. The standard deviation for this album is 28.7.

Lol@the fact that people actually listen to this album. (Edited)
By this point Nickelback has run their own sound into the ground. They have done all of this before with more clever lyrics. Now it is just lazy blatant focuses on sex like the song S.E.X. Lazy
The only Dark Horse here is their career. Who knew it would go on this long? I wouldn't have put money on it.
A band out of ideas that really only had a couple to begin with and found a way to stretch them out far beyond their expiration date. This milk just went from fishy smelling to rotten. (Edited)
There are songs called Something In Your Mouth and S.E.X. on this album.
Just.. why. (Edited)

Chad Kroeger sounds like the most constipated human on Earth. (Edited)
Got some great songs. (Edited)
