Rating metrics: Help 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 71.2/100, a mean average of 70.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 71.2/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.9.

“More albums of 2010 I listened to: - (nr 32 on the overall BEA top chart of 2010): this one just jumped over Yeasayer so it comes first: this album surprised me a bit because it has some good tracks like Butt-House Blondies (of all titles) and Revolution's a Lie. The album is a bit all over the…”

Doesn't live up to their first 2 albums, but still a solid album which is one of the best of 2010. Unlike their other albums which have multiple stand out tracks, Blue Beard is the only song which I would put in that category for Infinite Arms. Despite not having any bad tracks, my expectations for Band of Horses is too high for this album not to be a disappointment.

Good, solid album but all the songs sound similar.

I always thought this was disappointingly formulaic compared to their earlier albums but Briddel still has a beautiful voice and some tracks here are just irresistible, like the Eagles or Tom Petty. Compliments is a strong track regardless.

The major weakness for this album is how similar it all sounds. That said, almost everything here could be described as a good song. Really relaxing.

I wonder if he's talking about guns. Either way an infinite amount of them is a little much. I can dig it.
