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 72.1/100, a mean average of 72.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 72.1/100. The standard deviation for this album is 22.6.

Like Minor Earth, Major Sky this album has a handful of standout tracks and the rest is fairly good at best, like MEMS it is also too long. However this album is an improvement, as the standout tracks are more plentiful, mainly, the first 5 tracks, which are all great. The closer the album comes to it's end, the less great tracks there are.

Very good pop/pop rock album. Best 10 songs average is 89,3/100 and the album can get very good 90/100. Best songs are "Lifelines", "Forever not yours", "There's a reason for", "Did anyone approach you?", "A little bit" and "White canvas" all 90/100. All songs except one pretty good 85/100. Favourite!
Good album but a little meandering and long. Standout tracks like "A Little Bit", "Did Anyone Approach You" and the title track.
