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 60.6/100, a mean average of 59.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 59.5/100. The standard deviation for this album is 21.4.

Good modern Rock album. Not too aggressive. Great for Blink-182 in particular!

fucked.
I really can't understand all of the positive ratings, this is easily one of the worst albums I have ever heard.

Bland as hell. Outside of Cynical and San Diego, it's an extremely un-genuine cash grab with production that sounds like plastic. "California" as a whole proves to me that Tom was what kept their music fresh and interesting.

Pretty similar to Enema of the State... But not as interesting and not as passionate.. Still a solid effort.

Solid effort, not going to convert a non-blink fan over but should satisfy anyone who likes them.
