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.

“Was expecting a normal ole disjointed pop album. Got a really incredibly good release that will probably finish a top 10 of the year for me.”

“So this album's going to get a lot more play from me, which I'm really surprised by: I'm listening to this right now, and it's fantastic. I loved Mark Ronson and Amy Winhouse's version of Valarie (in fact, it's possibly my favourite cover of all time), but as far as I know, I've never heard any of…”

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.

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

"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.

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