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 24% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 73.7/100, a mean average of 72.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 73.8/100. The standard deviation for this album is 16.8.

A promising debut, A Thousand Trees and Local Boy In the Photograph are awesome. The rest of the album has lots of interesting lyrics but I find a lot of the tracks quite samey. A pleasant listen though but the best was yet to come.

One of my favourite albums, Local Boy in the Photograph is the best track.

Great debut album, the town these guys come from is a 10 minute drive my house.
Great debut album, the only Stereophonics album I listen to these days.
Local Boy In The Photograph and Too Many Sandwiches are great. Very unusual lyrics on this one. Not in an "avant garde" way but more of a "umm... okay" sort of way. And that BURN A THOUSAND TREEEEEEES part is great to. Listened to this a lot when I went on work experience in year 10.
