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 5% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 75.9/100, a mean average of 76.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 76.9/100. The standard deviation for this album is 11.6.

Former Weezer bassist Matt Sharp blends the sound that would have been Songs From the Black Hole and the sound of Pinkerton and makes a formidable debut album. Please That Be You and Brilliant Boy are the best tracks, but find the slow acoustic version of The Love I'm Searching For if you want to think even better of this album.

Cute. Some strong tracks, but it starts to wear thin at the end. A promising start, but they never took off after this.
Third best Weezer album
