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 68.1/100, a mean average of 67.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 67.6/100. The standard deviation for this album is 19.3.

If there’s a surfeit of nineties-remembering artists these days, there are many, many more whose entire style is about taking the iconography of the internet and mashing it all up “ironically”. Holly Herndon has some of this going on throughout Platform but actually she’s got a lot to say about alternate realities and identity.

Best track: Morning Sun. Mesmerising and very layered.
