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 2% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 79.0/100, a mean average of 78.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 79.3/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.2.

This is a refreshing album.
Songs like "Modern World", "Dear Sons And Daughters Of Hungry Ghosts" and "I'll Believe Anything" are memorable and very catchy. (Edited)
Very charming album! The rating is bound to go up! Excited to listen to it again! (Edited)
Very good album. I'll Believe in Anything has to be one of my favorite tracks from the 2000s.
Sounds like Modest Mouse, but is better than all of their albums except The Moon & Antarctica.
heh...I forgot I had this. It's been 6 years now...guess I should listen to it, huh?
