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 has a Bayesian average rating of 70.1/100, a mean average of 68.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 68.0/100. The standard deviation for this album is 6.8.

It feels as if Kristin Hersh and her Throwing Muses have been around forever and that’s because it’s true, having first appeared circa 1986 & I’ve been a fan for much of this time. Like an on again off again girlfriend Throwing Muses have always simply been there for me
Fast forward to 2020 and ‘Sun Racket’ has a touch of the Sleater-Kinny’s ‘The Centre Won’t Hold’ about it in so far as a beloved 80’s alternative band release release excellent album late in their career following long hiatus. It’s such a joy both theses bands are still going strong and seemingly at the top of their game
