Rating metrics: Help 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 70.7/100, a mean average of 70.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 70.5/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.7.

Two albums of 2015 I listened to: First an album I already own/know: An album way behind their original top albums and it's clear that it can stand next to their best and it's clear they haven't lost it; Superhero and Cone Of Shame are the highlights and it moves from the 48th to the 50th rank on…

FNM are my favourite all time band. I was very apprehensive about them making another album. What if it sucked!! But this is an amazing 'comeback' album. Their best since Angel dust. Should be ranked #2 IMO.

The album sounds like a weaker version of Album Of The Year, but holds no re-listen value like AOTY did. The first and the last track are the only ones that are slightly memorable.

This was a massive disappointment to me. After 18 years I expected something better than this. It's not even as good as, king for a day. A real let down.

This is every bit as weird and wonderful as their earlier works. It's like they never went away.

It may not be as good as Angel Dust, King For A Day, and The Real Thing, but it is still another great addition to the Faith No More CD collection, and FNM returns strong. Best track is Superhero.
