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 25% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 73.5/100, a mean average of 73.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 73.6/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.0.

A few enjoyable tracks but it seems like it's always the same song, like AC/DC.

Awesome and easy-going beach rock/lo-fi/garage rock. No duds, and the best are Green Eyes and Post Acid

It reminds me of what Ty Segall would sound like if he wasn't any good.

Great album from start to finish very catchy, can't tell who they remind me of, but I love the beach sound.

I so badly wanted to hate this album (cause Nathan williams seems like a massive douche) but it's actually fantastic.
