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 17% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 74.0/100, a mean average of 74.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 74.4/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.2.

i've described listening to "the format" by dog problems as a fun day at the carnival, with its Ferris wheel of easy pleasure and cotton candy and (beanbag) games that are more about playing than winning. "matches" musically kinda sounds like a carnival opening or walking into a baseball game. That subtle track segues nicely into the procession in "i'm actual", laying himself out singing "Can we take the next hour and talk about me?" "time bomb" is worth it just for the catchy chorus and drum-work alone. "she doesn't get it" has the air and exaltation of a warm, breezy summer day. Hints of big star in "pick me up". There's a common feeling across songs that things didn't work out but i still hope to see you again, remaining happy throughout, as on "oceans". "snails" is the catchy centerpiece simply declaring "Snails see the benefits / The beauty in every inch / Oh why, why, why, why, oh, why / Are you quick to kiss?". Okay, i take that back -- "the compromise" is the fuzz beat master. "inches and falling" sounds like it's closing the big top ceremoniously loving love and loving being in love.
