Rating metrics: Help 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 73.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 74.5/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.3.

A seriously great collection of energetic and dirty sounding songs. The vocals and distorted instruments go so well together. I can't believe these guys aren't more talked about. This and their even better follow up are two of the best albums of the era. Each song on the album can stand on its own. "Girl I Want You" is so good. Sky Saxon's vocals are incredible on that song. It's a shame that "Lose Your Mind" isn't on Spotify, I'm sure it's good too.
