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 79.2/100, a mean average of 79.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 79.7/100. The standard deviation for this album is 12.7.

I revise my rating... For those of you having a hard time getting into this, this album was written when Kozelek's long time girlfriend, Katy, had died of cancer at age 35. Heron Blue is about her slow decline in health. A lot of the songs are joyful remembrances of her. Now try to get through this damn thing with a dry eye knowing that.

At first I didn't really enjoy this one. I wanted to get into Sun Kil Moon after I discovered Red House Painters and loved their music so much. Then suddenly this music grew on me and I slowly started to enjoy it more and more.
