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 12% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 74.5/100, a mean average of 73.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 74.6/100. The standard deviation for this album is 17.8.

Very interesting. It borders that line of catchy and interesting, yet totally groundbreaking. Usually the two don't marry well, but they do it very well.

A perfect capture of how fucking weird it is to be living right now, in these crazy fucking times that often cease to make sense when the powers that be pathologically find ways to destroy everything and everyone, and proclaim we're all being saved in the process. A subtle protest spirit hiding underneath the bizzare but unusually coherent meld of wild garage-pop styles.

Very innovative, escapes a lot from the obvious. Some really interesting social critic too.

This is a strange album. I have to say I don’t think I’ve ever really heard a band have a sound quite like this. I’ve heard some similar, but this is definitely unique. It’s electronic, it’s avant-garde and it’s rock all in one. It’s incoherent, yet somehow there’s some kind of coherency within it. It’s mind-boggling because it shouldn’t be so good. It should be odd or slightly off-putting, yet it’s really good. The lead singer was one of the most confusing parts about the band. At first I thought it was a man, turns out it’s a woman. She’s got a great voice, but for a woman, it’s a strange voice. At times it almost sounds like Bon Scott. It’s a really good album though and definitely worth listening to.

A really interesting album by an artist doing their own thing. Thank you Marc Reilly for introducing me to it.
