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 24% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 73.7/100, a mean average of 74.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 74.6/100. The standard deviation for this album is 9.0.

This is an accomplished effort and more of the same from this top band. Diamonds is a great starter and Low is one hell of a song and one of the band's best tracks.

This album isn’t as good as they’ve released in the past, but it has some really good moments. There’s a stretch of about three or four songs that are really good right in the middle of the album, but the songs surrounding them aren’t anything particularly interesting. They’re a bit slow, a bit boring. If there’s one thing I can say about The Boxer Rebellion, it’s that I’ve always enjoyed the sound that they have. Similar to a Band Of Horses type sound, lots of reverbed guitars, powerful singing, and powerful drumming. It’s good, and they’ve released some solid stuff (see: “Exits"), and this album is pretty solid, but just not quite there. Check out the highlights, the rest is relatively forgettable.
