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 23% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 73.9/100, a mean average of 74.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 74.3/100. The standard deviation for this album is 10.5.

Great album with a mix of immediate mathy songs and beautiful soundscapes - the latter tending to be my favorite and hinting what is to come with the next album. I will never forget the first time I heard Pachuca Sunrise; nevertheless, Minus the Bear is the first band to open me up to the interesting technicalities of math rock.

Favorite tracks: Pachuca Sunrise, The Pig War, The Fix

Absolutely love this album from start to finish. Minus the Bear are so underrated it's almost laughable. One day they will get the recognition they deserve.
