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 73.2/100, a mean average of 73.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 73.3/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.6.

After the breakup between you and your significant other, you spent the following week alternating between running and/or walking and writing your deepest personal feelings during the nighttime.

Original 8 tracks are awesome of course, but what I really love are bonus tracks(which consist of 1 EP and 2 Singles) They're peak of jangle guitar pop. Idk how simple pop songs could be this good. Melodious and beautiful yet touching and emotional. I was born in 90's but this album even makes me feel the nostalgia of 80's! Really one of best albums I've found recently.

Plus, Bassist rules
