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 76.5/100, a mean average of 76.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 76.8/100. The standard deviation for this album is 10.9.

Short and sweet, not that far behind their "big" albums.

Great EP. "About Today," and "Wasp Nest" are both underrated gems.

About Today is in my top 5 of my fav The National songs. Surprised that not so many National geeks like me haven't given it a push. Beautiful song.

Agreed. I was surprised when this wasn't on any charts. All The Wine, Cherry Tree & About Today are probably some of the National's best songs. I know it's only an EP, but it deserves to be on our charts.
