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 69.7/100, a mean average of 69.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 69.0/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.2.

This is the album that seperated old Alkaline Trio fans from new. You can't really call this a "punk" album like you could with the others. It's crime ? --It was too well produced.
If you analyze it without comparing it to the ones before, it becomes great. "Time To Waste" is one of the coolest intro tracks in recent memory. "Burn" "Mercy Me" "Smoke" are all strong tracks. I wouldn't call the rest of the album filler material either. Worth checking out.
