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 4% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 76.9/100, a mean average of 78.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 78.4/100. The standard deviation for this album is 9.5.

Very solid. Unwound is becoming one of my favorite bands. Highlights on this include Natural Disasters, Equally Stupid, Pardon My French, Petals Like Bricks, Descension, New Energy... Not sure why they ended on the three instrumentals that all seem to be slight variants of one another. I liked the Pardon My French interlude so these don't bother me too much. This might've been better off as a 30 min release but oh well. Interesting enough.
