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 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 21.3.

Fun album, really enjoyed listening to it. Don't take it too serious though...
keeping this at 90, its not that amazing
Good modern Rock album. Not too aggressive. Great for Blink-182 in particular!
This
is
absolutely
fucked.
I really can't understand all of the positive ratings, this is easily one of the worst albums I have ever heard. (Edited)
Not great, but still a fun album. Definitely worth a listen for fans of blink-182
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.

It's just so boring. I don't think the band are happy with this album because it feels so overproduced and poppy. It doesn't feel fun like it is supposed to.
"I'm a dandellion you are a four-leaf clover
But let me call you when I'm sober" has to be one of the most incredibly forced rhymes I've to hear yet
"Life is too short to last long"
Probably the deepest lyrics i've ever heard
Decent effort, Bored to Death is a belter
