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 5% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 75.8/100, a mean average of 78.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 78.8/100. The standard deviation for this album is 11.2.

Fantastic! Better than the last few Blur albums and almost as good as the Gorillaz. If you're an Albarn fan you may be dissapointed as he only sings lead on a couple songs and only makes his presence known on a few others. But almost every track is a winner. Hopefully Albarn's star appeal can help bring pop fans' attention to one of the most musically rich and creative countries in the world. (Edited)
