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 6% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 75.8/100, a mean average of 76.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 76.8/100. The standard deviation for this album is 11.9.

I heard Oh Larsen B, liked it, and decided to check out this album. What an excellent decision that was, Open Season is great and way better than I expected. Definitely less punk than the other BSP albums, but full of great songs that make it my favorite and without many "bad" songs (not too fond of North Hanging Rock or True Adventures, but they aren't bad)

One of the most underrated albums I've seen in this site

Best songs: Oh Larsen B, It Ended on an Oily Stage, Please Stand Up, Like a Honeycomb

The band I never got around to listening to! If the rest of the album is as good as 'It Ended On An Oily Stage' then it will be fantastic! Had that one on single. The guitar sound is so basic but works fine.

My favourite BSP album. Consistently good album with no bad tracks."North Hanging Rock" is just fantastic. After a few listens that track will start to eat into your brain!
