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 72.9/100, a mean average of 73.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 73.1/100. The standard deviation for this album is 11.2.

Totally agree with the previous comment. An underrated gem. They do beatlesque pop with tons of imagination and a funky twist. "The morning is waiting" is a stunner worthy of McCartney or Ray Davies at their best. This album was my introduction to Field music. Looking forward to hearing what they do next.

Field Music are still creating great art-pop or prog-pop or whatever other genre you want to pigeon hole them in to, but this album is much more geared towards general acceptance. It's funkier. Still high quality from great musicians. Imagine their album "Measure" with smoother poppier edges. Even though more accessible I doubt it will dent the charts. Sadly one of those bands who deserve to be more well known.
