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 4% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 76.8/100, a mean average of 78.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 78.2/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.2.

Left & Leaving was the first truly Weakerthans album. Taking influence from folk, punk and contemporary indie, frontman John K. Samson delivers some of the most heartfelt and poetic lyricism you could ever expect out of a rock band.

I cannot believe that I am the first one to comment on this album! If you have any interest in 2000s Indie folk rock then check it out. The best lyrics ever combined with music that is rocking, emotional and suprising at the same time. This band saved my life and warmed my heart a lot of times. 2004 I read in a magazin that this band should have had the same status that coldplay had at these times. Completely true back then.
