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 3% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 76.9/100, a mean average of 75.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 77.0/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.7.

Shortlisted for the 1996 Mercury Music Prize. The Winner was Different Class by Pulp (Edited)
The Manic's are one of these bands that have been given high accolades and fame status that I just don't get. I've got a few of their albums. They're good but none have massively resonated with me. This would be my favorite from them (Edited)

Um dos álbuns mais divertidos de 1996, fica entre os melhores da década pra mim também.

Trades in the collapsing psychological claustrophobia and body horror of The Holy Bible for a lot of working day laments and somber character studies of doomed former dreamers, making it one of the more fascinating displays of shocked grief almost immediately put to record. Small Black Flowers really does feel like an eerie whisper from beyond the grave, despite how gentle it comes across throughout the recording.
Very solid. First track is a dud, but it gets much better from there. Australia, A Design For Life and Kevin Carter are my favourites (Edited)
