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 11% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 74.5/100, a mean average of 74.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 74.6/100. The standard deviation for this album is 12.8.

One of their best sounding albums and one that’s interestingly a little more difficult to define in terms of genre and sonics.
That said, for me, it’s one of the more middle of the pack albums in the band’s discography. Fishing For Fishies has a few great tracks like Real’s Not Real and The Bird Song, but a couple I’m more lukewarm on as well. (Edited)
Very good
95/100
What a piece of Art, Stu continues his perfectionism, an album you can hear from the beginning to end, gorgeous material
With Igor, the Best album of 2019 so far!
King Giz can do whatever they want, do it well, and still sound King Gizzy. What a fun album. (Edited)
Not the best album they have and not their usual sound, but that's what makes it so good. King Gizzy rest a little from their neo-psychedelia and make a fantastically fun album laden with boogie and tinged with an environmental message.
Best Tracks: The Bird Song, Real's Not Real
7.0/10 (Edited)
