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 2% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 78.3/100, a mean average of 78.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 78.6/100. The standard deviation for this album is 12.1.

My favorite Broken Social Scene album and the newest found addition to my top 10 albums. The sonic disorder is soothing, the album is the embodiment of the perfectly designed roller coaster with that steep climb to the first highest peak followed by an amazing ride with a couple of twists, turns, a loop or two, and a few smaller peaks and a gravity defying finale that shatters my mind every time, making for quite the ride. Yes, that first peak is 7/4 (Shoreline).

Like below said, I found this to be as good, if not better than YFIIP.

It's so damn upbeat and cheerful. I don't know what it does to me but it puts me in a happy mood whenever I listen to it.

Great album!

Highlights: Ibi Dreams of Pavement (A Better Day), 7/4 (Shoreline), Major League Debut, Windsurfing Nation, Handjobs for the Holidays, It's All Gonna Break.

Connor is right. How is this ignored? It's almost as good as YFIIP.
