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 6% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 75.6/100, a mean average of 75.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 76.1/100. The standard deviation for this album is 12.5.

Never one to surrender, he gave her one last ultimatum even though it was his fault.

Well it isn't quite as good as Gentlemen, but it is one of my top 100 albums and a 90s rock classic -- an easy recommend. Also that was as much a reaction to the fact that two of their far lesser albums had already been added.

I seriously needed to add this album?!? Seriously?? Wow...
