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 67.3/100, a mean average of 63.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 63.3/100. The standard deviation for this album is 10.7.

I'm not sure why I like this album better than their last. I could say that they have more of a mastery of their craft as evidenced in "it don't move me", the slow-moving "just the past" and the obvious hit "nothing to worry about" (with kid-assisted chorus), and the self-titled track is pretty bouncing too, but I'm just as willing to go with the sorta-cop-out that this hasn't been that strong of a year and that the better albums look. Still, this album's carried by the hits and has some filler-type of songs plunked in at the end.
