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 has a Bayesian average rating of 72.5/100, a mean average of 72.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 72.6/100. The standard deviation for this album is 11.8.

I never really got this album. Having read the comments below, I think that I need to revisit and reassess. Might become a grower

It didn't take long for this to become one of my favorite Primal Scream albums. I like every track on this. Most songs very electronic rock orientated. Great rhythms, great beats. ''Deep Hit Of Morning Sun' is a blinder and a fantastic opening track. 'Autobahn 66' has taken the crown for now being my favorite Primal song. Overall a top album.

"Evil Heat" may follow closely in the footsteps of its superior predecessor "XTRMNTR", but there is an attempt to try something different, namely the marriage between noise-rock and electro-pop, with various degrees of success. The electroclash influences are very much appreciated (the Kate Moss duet "Some Velvet Morning" standing out as a highlight) and the lyrics manage to be impressionistic, morbid and, for the most part, powerful. Overall it's a gritty yet enjoyable record.

"XTRMNTR" vol. 2. Nothing new to get on this one, but since the quality is almost the same, it's criminally underrated!
