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 1% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 80.1/100, a mean average of 79.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 80.7/100. The standard deviation for this album is 16.0.

The only EP that I consistently listen to. A real shame that NMH never followed up ITAOTS. If you enjoy their sound, i recommend you listen to Little Birds, the only single they released after their magnum opus.

Captures the same vibe and feel as Aeroplane. Oh Sister could be an extension of Oh Comely. Jeff Mangum is a ridiculously talented songwriter and these two albums - Aeroplane and Ferris Wheel - deserve to be ranked with any of the great Springsteen, Nas, or Tom Waits, in that regard.
