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 11% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 74.7/100, a mean average of 75.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 75.5/100. The standard deviation for this album is 10.3.

It sounds like these guys were having fun in the studio. Long psychedelic free form jams with sparse lyrics makes for a different kind of Dream Syndicate album.Good record but fans of 80's Dream Syndicate may not like it.
A different sort of dream syndicate album. More akin to free form jazz than their albums with more structured songs but I love it. Would love to see s9me of these tracks performed live. Maybe I will as I’m seeing them play in London later in the year. Can’t wait

Good but doesn't grab my attention all that well for some reason.
