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 76.5/100, a mean average of 75.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 76.9/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.8.

I like The Feelies very much with their own take on VU and R.E.M. and I think this album is even more accomplished than Crazy Rhythms. I especially like Slipping (Into Something).

Crazy Rhythms gets all the props but as far as I'm concerned, this is the ultimate Feelies album. It's kind of like the positive version of WL/WH (dig all the healthy positive vibes coming through the insistent massive jamming) and almost as good.
