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 58.7/100, a mean average of 57.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 57.3/100. The standard deviation for this album is 22.9.

Bland rather than bad. They've got a formula that worked and are sticking to it

There is some solid to good stuff, especially in the middle, but nothing really stands out. The end of the album is especially rough.

Shots, It Comes Back To You and Dream are the only ones I found worth listening to.

The fact that they are a mainstream band doesn't hide the fact that this is just bad. Night Visions had potential and some really good songs but this is very disappointing.

It's really not that bad, it's just not very interesting. It's what you would expect from a huge pop act these days. I actually like the seemingly African influenced beats on some of the tracks, and that's coming from someone who didn't expect this to even be worth his time. It'll be a decent listen until it's shoved down our throats by every Top 40 station out there, so enjoy it while you can.

The only thing that really sucks about the album is the cover art.

I'm just curious, is it the fact that these guys are mainstream the reason why all of you guys are so harsh on them? Let go of that barrier, sheesh.

I'm honesty so disappointed right now. Imagine Dragons has the talent and following to be a fantastic, generational defining band. But following this sophomore release, I'm left with a bitter taste in my mouth. All the songs rely on a generic drum beat and each is less imaginative than the last. At no point did I get emotionally engaged in a song and a few were actually hard to sit through. All in all, an embarrassing effort. If this is the direction Imagine Dragons wants to take, they will soon fade into obscurity.
