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 22% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 74.0/100, a mean average of 74.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 74.2/100. The standard deviation for this album is 11.7.

This album is such a fun concept! Taking wrestling and making it more human than entertainment is a wild ride, and results in some of the most memorable Mountain Goats material to date.

I really hope this climbs the 2015 rankings, it deserves to be much higher than 39th. This is actually my first exposure to The Mountain Goats, and I'm now working through their back catalogue. Seems to be full of gems I wish I'd found a lot sooner.
