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 15% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 74.3/100, a mean average of 74.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 74.6/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.8.

Damn good bit of shoegaze, this.
Quite a simplistic sounding record until you get to Folding, which spears off into a wholly more complex and melodic thing. Up to then its shoegazey volume rock. Snare drum is way up in the mix, almost to the detriment of the rest of the drums.

22 years in the making! Huge surprise finding out about this comeback album by Hum. It's really good! Its a more epic version of themselves. Like a darker more progressive version of themselves.
