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 22% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 73.6/100, a mean average of 73.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 73.9/100. The standard deviation for this album is 12.5.

K.M’s most accomplished and complete record yet demonstrating a mastery of his musical craft he’s been slowly building towards for the past five years. Clearly this is his “Breakup Album” seemingly parting ways with long time partner Katie Crutchfield aka Waxahatchee
On his latest, Morby serves up a real consummate collection of songs meditating around the concept of memory, time and family.
