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 is rated in the top 22% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 73.7/100, a mean average of 74.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 74.0/100. The standard deviation for this album is 11.7.

This is one of a handful of cases where their album was just as good, and highly similar stylistically, as their last album; and yet, i liked the album a bit less because i've become a bit tired of the "formula". This is simply a "ho hum / show me something new" reaction to an otherwise solid bookend to "The Stage Names". They continue writing songs in the perspective of "people in the limelight". Pop Lie is the best track. Now if they could give me the uncompromising darkness of "Black Sheep Boy" with the matured song-craft of "The Stage Names"/"The Stand-Ins", then i'd be SET.
