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 73.2/100, a mean average of 72.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 73.5/100. The standard deviation for this album is 11.4.

After a fantastic run of albums and the superb leftfield turn of, standing at the sky's edge, Richard Hawley does the unthinkable and regresses to make a record he could have made ten years ago. I was really hoping he was going to continue heading into even more challenging waters and I was crestfallen when I heard this. Still, having said that, there's nothing particularly bad about the songs, on the contrary, but it's just a step backwards as far as i'm concerned.
Another stunning album from Richard, who bury the electric guitars to turn back into warm and acoustic atmospheres.
