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 4% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 76.7/100, a mean average of 75.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 77.1/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.5.

True dat. Still, the first is much better as an album, but I think Am has a chance at reaching the top 100 for my chart. If not, it's definitely top 150. The first three tracks are fantastic, and then it dropped just a tiny bit. I haven't given a 90 or higher since "One for the Road," but "Why'd…

Un disco bastante interesante, la primera y única incursión (hasta el momento) de Alex Turner como solista, un disco acústico y melancólico, tiene un par de canciones dignas de mención como Stuck In A Puzzle y la versión original de Piledriver Waltz, que después saldría en el disco Suck It And See de Arctic Monkeys, ambas versiones me encantan, aunque aquí es una balada acústica que cierra perfectamente el álbum.

Not a fan of the movie, but this is great. Short and sweet, allows Alex Turner to demonstrate his songwriting skills. (Edited)

Amazing soundtrack to a great film, Alex Turner sounds really nice on acoustic songs and his beautiful lyricism comes through clearer thanks to that. I honestly think he's one of the best songwriters currently.

This has to be one of the best EPs i ever heard. Simple songs in the style of Suck It And See's songwriting. I like It, I like It very much. When I first heard It I thought "Wow, Alex Turner is really one of the best songwriters out there".
