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 70.0/100, a mean average of 69.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 69.0/100. The standard deviation for this album is 16.0.

I have nothing but respect for someone who can not only show his talents off in a controlled, yet fun way, but also carry and disperse that talent amongst a small orchestra like YMusic. They all sound like they're brilliant musicians while having a good time playing with Ben. The concerto is very nice and layered, yet feels like an emotional Ben Folds song.

It's a short album, but it's really enjoyable, some of Ben's most heartfelt and catchy tunes are here and I'm not well versed in the realm of Concertos but I really enjoyed the one that closed out the album, Phone in a Pool, Long Way to Go and So There are real standouts

Sadly,a short album of pop music if you minus the impressive yet self indulgent concerto tracks. But there are some real gems here. Ben knows how to step in and out of the music spotlight as good as anyone and let some classical musicians really shine. The musical break on the title track is great stuff. Some other standouts for me were "phone in a pool", "capable of anything" and the beautiful "I'm not the man", which is the best ballad both lyrically and musically Ben has written in a long time. If you're a fan,these 4 tracks alone are worth the price of admission.
