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 70.8/100, a mean average of 69.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 70.5/100. The standard deviation for this album is 18.4.

This is just a beautiful David Gray album, cold and stark and meticulous with great piano melodies and quick-hitting lyrics. The glacier on the front is a perhaps representation of the mood of the album. (Edited)
A return to form after the disappointment of, new day at midnight. Some fine songwriting here on, hospital food, the Springsteen-ish, the one I love, and the beautiful, nos da cariad. An underrated record. (Edited)
