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 is rated in the top 6% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 76.0/100, a mean average of 76.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 76.5/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.4.

Ahead of its time to say the least, though I do think Jane From Occupied Europe is quite superior. Not that this album isn't noteworthy.

I love the snotty attitude of this album. Very under-rated album, in my opinion.

I love full Moon in My Pocket. It is such a driven song. Manic vocals and a great bass line. This album starts Gee! That's a swell map! and them just keeps going... always changing and evolving. It is restless and twitching. Music to fidget to.
