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 3% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 77.6/100, a mean average of 76.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 78.0/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.8.

So just to clarify, for me, Comforting Sounds IS the best thing ever recorded. I know but such and such and blah blah blah. Which is fine, but nothing makes me feel like this track. Nothing.

Actually some sort of a compilation album, but never the less it's the perfect album, and thank god for revisiting the tracks as the new sound really kicked ass and Mew found their unique sound.

Comforting Sounds is one of the best closing tracks of all time.

Honest alternative pop rock album. I'm a bit I'm a little disappointed that this is their best since the reputation of Mew.

Great album, clearly an inspiration from MBV's Kevin Shields!
