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 70.4/100, a mean average of 68.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 70.1/100. The standard deviation for this album is 17.4.

Morrissey just doesn’t get any happier, does he? This record lacks much of the nostalgia factor of his earlier releases. The tunes aren’t quite as strong and his voice isn’t as treacly as it has been. Decent, but ultimately disappointing.

Raw and rocking, while retaining that trademark whining about being unlovable.

An underrated album that is by a long distance Morrissey's best.
