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 7% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 75.4/100, a mean average of 73.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 75.7/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.4.

Wow, not many recent albums quite have this level of emotional power, and it's great proof how the rock guitar can still be a valuable weapon. A nearly perfect first half is followed by an almost equally fascinating but uneven second half, but for an album that sort of makes a habit of walking on landmines it's occasional missteps are made up for by it's consistiently potent (and emotionally substantive) implosiveness

The Kim Gordon aura is so strong, it's really creepy. The album is sometimes a bit bland, but a bunch of heart wrenching songs (the powerful "California") and crazy vids (check out the psychy "Milkman") make up for it. Great debut !
Liked it a lot more than I anticipated.
