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 73.3/100, a mean average of 70.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 73.8/100. The standard deviation for this album is 16.1.

elephant 6! Yes!!!
Really fun album. Probably the best non-Neutral Milk Hotel Elephant 6 Collective album, it's lo-fi enough but not too over-the-top with crazy instruments and sounds. Lyrics are light which match the music.
Brings me back to the early 90s. Sounds like early Velocity Girli. Thank god for Jesus & the Marychain. Feedback + bubblegum pop = magic
