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 69.7/100, a mean average of 68.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 68.9/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.9.

Synthpop supreme ! I think this record is pretty solid throughout and has that great duet with Sky Ferreira on it. Sure, it's no "some velvet morning", but "Chaosmosis" proves the boys haven't lost it yet.
Similarly to 2008's "Beautiful Future", this is a consistent and catchy record that also leans more towards pop but has some typical Primal Scream flourishes. This may be a second-tier album from them, unlike 2013's excellent "More Light", nonetheless it's worth a spin. Watch out for that Sky Ferreira feature halfway through.

Largely forgettable release
