Rating metrics: Help 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 5% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 75.9/100, a mean average of 75.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 76.7/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.7.

This album is a grower. An epic journey, eclectic, sweet, rocking, weird, personal, backwards- and forward-looking at the same time. And it all culminates with the massive Golden Core - the kind of music that only Motorpsycho is able to make. You will not be prepared. One of the absolute best albums of the 90s, stone cold classic!

I prefer the single-CD edition of this album, that came out in 1995! It omits the tracks "Beautiful Sister", "Giftland" and "Sungravy" and contains edited versions of "Leave It Like That", "The Wheel" and "On My Pillow".
