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 72.3/100, a mean average of 71.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 72.3/100. The standard deviation for this album is 11.0.

Anybody remember when Hot Hot Heat was supposed to save music? Well, it's been nearly ten years now and pretty much all they have to show for themselves is Bandages, and that's if you're feeling kind. At best they're a poor man's Modest Mouse doing new wave. At worst it's Talking Heads without the fun, which makes everything just a bunch of gibberish and indie moxie. Massively over-hyped back in the day (and I'm guilty too) but I suppose it's not too hard to stand out when your rivals are OK Go, Louis XIV, and All-American Rejects.

Decent album. "No, Not Now" and "Bandages" are pretty catchy-
