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 is rated in the top 8% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 75.0/100, a mean average of 76.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 76.1/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.0.

Very much a case of what could have been for these guys. After releasing 3 solid if unsuccessful albums The Maccabees finally give us the Magnus Opus they always threatened and then seemingly set for the breakthrough they so richly deserved only to break up a few months after this albums release

‘Marks To Prove It’ captures the band with a sound closer to their live performances and in parts out Killers the Killers with smart sophisticated anthemic guitar rock

I can’t close without mentioning track 4 “Spit It Out” - what a song !!! . Something very special here and a clear highlight on a wonderful swan song album
