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 7% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 75.2/100, a mean average of 74.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 75.5/100. The standard deviation for this album is 11.6.

The same, but taking everything to another level. Redefines 'maximalist'.

Nothing terribly new from Ariel Pink. Same solid songwriting, sound, and versatility.

This is a weird one. One minute is pop, the other is dream pop and the next one is death metal and the next one is psychedelia. It's a weird experience and it has some weak songs (even Pom Pom had them), but it's virtues are greater than it's flaws.

I just worry that he's getting too comfortable with being "radical".

Loses some steam on the second half but it's still a good album that displays some of Ariel's virtues as a songwriter. I really liked the hook-y "Feels Like Heaven" as well as the noisy and very mantra-based "Time to Live". Solid record. It's fun.
