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 2% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 78.3/100, a mean average of 78.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 78.8/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.0.

The Koz is perfect.

EDIT: Seeing this six years later, this comment did not age well. But this record is still flawless.

One of the few albums that have made me cry. San Geronimo is one of the best songs ever made.

This was my first exposure to RHP, and it took awhile for the album to grow on me, but once it did I never let go. I think "Shadows" is one of the band's most depressing songs to date, and the rest of the album can be equally depressing, but comforting at the same time.
