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 66.5/100, a mean average of 63.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 63.9/100. The standard deviation for this album is 21.0.

I loved this album when it came out, and sometimes returns to it as kind of guilty pleasure.
But you know what, nothing guilty about it.
This is great!
Electro - rock - teen - Brittanica. It really works (Edited)

Fantastic and Underrated electro-rock record. "Out Of The Darkness" is the largest hidden gem off this record, and hits like "Ready To Go" (check out both the US and UK mixes) and "Drop Dead Gorgeous" are fun and engaging.

5 Stars. (Edited)
