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 has a Bayesian average rating of 65.4/100, a mean average of 61.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 61.8/100. The standard deviation for this album is 24.2.

Most cohesive and complete project from Motion City Soundtrack. Even with that I think they do some interesting things pushing their normal sound out farther while still maintaining themselves.

I honestly don't get the rating of this album compared to the others. I think this is the best album made by Motion City Soundtrack, but I appear to be in the minority on that opinion.
