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 is rated in the top 7% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 75.3/100, a mean average of 75.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 75.6/100. The standard deviation for this album is 11.0.

I very much enjoy the title track
About two thirds of it is excellent, but the other third, with one song in particular is really disappointing. Still, it's alright on the whole. Is this the last Doves album?

I remember I was disappointed when I listened to it for the first time - although (or because) I liked the earlier albums very much. This one grew on me almost everytime I listened to it, and pretty soon it became my favourite Doves album.
It is a pity that it still is the last record they released.
I respectfully disagree with jamessmith77... I say this is Doves best work.
Their weakest album but still got some quality songs on there, don't know about the slap bass on Compulsion though!
