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 67.6/100, a mean average of 66.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 66.9/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.8.

Why all the flak? Most tuneful pop album I've heard in years

Yup there's nothing in there compared to "Uptown Funk" but still it's a fun ride. The songs with Tame Impala's singer Kevin Parker are pretty good too.

"Uptown Funk" is the best pop song I've heard in a long time, so I was excited to hear the whole record. There isn't anything that matches that track, but this is a solid collection of songs that pay homage to the sound of the late 70s and early 80s.

falls entirely short of recent disco-pop works like 'Random Access Memories' and 'Girls'. Couple great singles though, as with most pop efforts.
