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 77.9/100, a mean average of 77.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 78.5/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.5.

Not the best Bill has produced, but with some really nice songs like Held, Cold Blooded Old Times and Hit the Ground Running.

Smog goes electric (as hinted on 1996's excellent, Kicking a Couple Around EP). He adopts various personas; some relatable, others perverse. And coerces out his inner Dylan.

One of the most inspired Smog's album.
Produced by Jim O'Rourke, contains the most famous Smog's song,"Cold Blooded Times" which later appeared on the High Fidelity film soundtrack, and stunning songs like Teenage Spaceship.
