"But something kept me standing by that hospital bed,
I should have quit, but instead I took care of you.
You made me sleep and uneven, and I didn’t believe them
when they told me that there was no saving you."

"And one day we will die
and our ashes will fly from the aeroplane over the sea.
But for now we are young,
let us lay in the sun and count every beautiful thing we can see.
Love to be
in the arms of all I'm keeping here with me"

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 charts can have several thousand ratings)
This chart has a Bayesian average rating of 86.6/100, a mean average of 87.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 87.1/100. The standard deviation for this chart is 7.5.

Most of the albums on this list would be in my top 100 chart (if only I had enough points). But I've not heard Antlers before. Seems like I should give them a go. (That's a good aspect of this site - it introduces you to bands that you should like.)
