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 has a Bayesian average rating of 73.6/100, a mean average of 73.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 73.8/100. The standard deviation for this album is 10.4.

Not a Pavement fan, so this appealed less to me than it did to others, but I still found this enjoyable.

Catchy slacker rock, as usual. He's consistently good in terms of songwriting, and the performances on here are tighter than Pavement but still rougher than most bands. For Malkmus, that's still a good thing. It's Winter here in Melbourne, Australia, but I'm predicting this will be a cracking summer listen in a few months.
Corking record. Swerves between straight-up, Indie fare and proggy pop rock. Some really good tracks on here.

Ex-Pavement Malkmus has released an eclectic yet largely uninteresting 11 tracks here on 'Sparkle Hard'(with the exception of rocker "Shiggy" which goes ok)
One for the Pavement fan's only
45/100
