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 74.2/100, a mean average of 73.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 74.4/100. The standard deviation for this album is 12.6.

Great album. Lo-fi like Elvis Depressedly but with a more experimental edge. Entertaining from start to finish

Has a lot of solid tracks, but is kind of all over the place. Seems like Alex G had a hard time sticking to one type of sound for this album. Either that, or he just doesn't care.

Highlights- Sportstar, Powerful Man

Very ambitious album. It's kind of scattered, though. There were a lot of experimental ideas that Alex tinkered with; some of them work, and a few of them don't. Took me a few listens to really get into the album.

Highlights- Proud, Bobby, Brick, Sportstar, Judge, Powerful Man

This is my album of the year so far. It's very eclectic but held together through some subtle sonic touches. It's warm yet challenging. My rating may increase with time, but for now it is a solid 8/10. Highly recommend.
