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 2% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 79.5/100, a mean average of 78.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 79.6/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.3.

Without ever threatening to go over the top, the great Gorillaz continue to they manage to experiment and move on, while maintaining their very original and distinctive sound. Although "Stylo" stands out particularly, all the songs are good.
Other exceptional tracks: "White Flag", ·Rhinestone Eyes", and "On Melancholy Hill".
How this band do not have more success on Top 40 radio is a tragedy. Nevertheless their already long period of outstanding musical output is likely to continue. (Edited)

Great record!
Groovey, plural and beautifully crafted. (Edited)
An album that showed what was going to be popular throughout the 2010s. A mix of hip hop/electronica and melodic indie with fantastic features all carefully wrapped together within a narrative both poignant and worthy of exploration.
