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 59.7/100, a mean average of 58.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 58.3/100. The standard deviation for this album is 25.4.

Every song on this album is just as good as Fireflies. I grew up as an adolescent when this came out listening to Nirvana but I just heard it and it gives me nostalgia in a weird way. The music is well written and has great melodies. It is pop and very commercial sounding but it doesn’t disappoint if you can get past that. If you can’t get past how commercial it is, you won’t like this album. I just wish Adam Young was a woman because the singinh would sound smoother and more beautiful. His synths are great and very poppy. Can’t really complain but this album is very underrated.

This is an album I probably won't listen anymore. That said, I enjoyed the listen I gave it. My mind tells me there is something wrong with enjoying this, but I did, and I don't regret it. 7/10.
