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 3% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 77.1/100, a mean average of 78.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 78.0/100. The standard deviation for this album is 10.5.

Like Belle & Sebastian, this band is also from Glasgow Scotland and they do sound a lot like them. But that in itself isn't bad because they do deliver some fine tracks of which especially the opener Suspended From Class is a highlight.
If albums were rated on charm alone, this would be in the all time top 5 for sure!

This is one of very few albums that can make me weep with tears, But it's still really sweet and cute. I wish more people love this lovely album.
