Rating metrics: Help 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 21.1.

It's like listening to smarter version of cheesy 80s synth pop

Very solid album that takes you on an upbeat journey through 80s synth and dance rock influences with a modern twist! What is really cool about this album is that every season of the year is represented somewhere, which gives an overall tone and atmosphere that will fill your palette.
Favorite Tracks-- Sidekick, Portugal, Down in the Dumps, Come Under the Covers and Aquaman

This is a very 80s-ish album but it still manages to refrain from being cheesy. Avalanche and Shut Up And Dance are two of my favorite songs ever. I highly recommend this album!
