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 9% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 74.8/100, a mean average of 75.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 75.7/100. The standard deviation for this album is 10.1.

Very nice melodic album. It's remind me Pretenders with a touch of the 60s. Musically very consistent album. I have to listen to it a few more times.

I went to High School with the singer (Dee Dee aka Kristen). If anyone is interested in her other material, check out Grand Ole Party! She used to be a drummer!! A singing drummer!!!

This album is AWESOME!!! Never heard of this band and they just come out of nowhere with such a powerful collection of songs... Straight and to the point, roughly produced yet perfectly mixed it hast a trully amazing vibe, don't think I've felt so pumped up by and album since the first time I listened to the Stooges' Raw power or The Libertines' Up the bracket.... Solid contender for album of the year (Top 5 for me at least as of Oct 24) and it really makesme want to listen to their debut...
