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 2% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 79.2/100, a mean average of 81.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 81.9/100. The standard deviation for this album is 12.2.

Talented musicians and vocalist this band is often overlooked. This is great album that is well produced and arranged with strong song writing. Highly recommended!

Unfortunately because they don't fit into any specific genre they usually just go completely unnoticed. But people that are lucky enough to stumble upon them are usually quite glad they did. Some of the best fretwork on earth comes from this band. Very original songwriting. The Smoothie Song and This Side are two of the catchiest songs I've ever heard, no exaggeration at all.
