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 is rated in the top 15% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 74.1/100, a mean average of 73.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 74.7/100. The standard deviation for this album is 17.7.

It's a mix between indie and just good singer songwriter stuff although the first prevails on this album which goes from the 45th to the 20th rank. An album on my wishlist: Nothing…”

“Since your list is so broad I want to ask about a couple that I see are absent. No 80's heavy hitters like Tears for Fears, Depeche Mode, Talk Talk. The Blue Nile, Japan? Does any Of Montreal album catch your ear? What about singer/songwriters like EELS or Sparklehorse? Also, I don't know if you…”

There's a period during early romance when butterflies flutter around your stomach and intoxicate you with both anxiety and joy.

What a great way to describe the beginning of a relationship. It lacks musically, but it's a very honest, authentic album. Wonderful.
