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 6% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 75.5/100, a mean average of 75.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 77.0/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.0.

Gallon Drunk incorporate Duane Eddie-esque rockabilly twang with a kind of a voodoobilly tribalism that invokes the music of Bo Diddley, Cramps, Gun Club and the Birthday Party but subverts them into a totally new territory. A swinging rhythm consisting of prominent drums, organ, and maracas lend a demonically sinister and dramatic element to the music as if its protaganists are conducting the equivalent of a musical exorcism. At other times, calmer instrumental passages evoke the atmosphere of 'cocktail lounge' and postmodern Western movie soundtracks. Meanwhile, James Johnstone's vocals emerge from a seemingly disparate parallel universe. The only criticism I have of this album, is that at just 32 minutes and 10 seconds, you don't want this masterpiece to end.
