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 61.6/100, a mean average of 61.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 61.4/100. The standard deviation for this album is 21.4.

Much heavier than their previous more experimental album, more like the Muse of old. But certainly nowhere near the quality of their first 5 albums. (Edited)
For a long time, I didn’t listen to this album because I really hate the opening track, Dead Inside. It’s a shame, because the rest of the album is really good. It has everything we love about Muse: a concept album, themes of paranoia and conspiracy, powerful guitar, more progressive tracks, beautiful piano melodies… In short, if you like Muse, give this album a listen. (Edited)
Great album by Muse!! I love it!! fuck you all (Edited)
I see a bit of non-love for the album but I enjoyed it. Storyline or not, indulgent or not, I just listened to the sounds and vocal and found it good, solid Muse (Edited)
Drones by name and drones on by nature. I know Muse can be hit and miss but there's no brilliant highlights just them being self indulgent (Edited)
