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 has a Bayesian average rating of 72.9/100, a mean average of 71.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 72.9/100. The standard deviation for this album is 16.4.

Top-tier, prime, quinticential alternative rock. If you don't have this album in your collection, get it. Every track is bright and gorgeous. Catchiest dang hooks this side of the equator. Get. At. This. Record.

Very good album. Best 10 songs average is 89,5/100 and the album can get very good 90/100. Half of the songs are very good 90/100 (1,4,5,6,8,9,12) and the other ones are good 85/100. Favourite!
Genre: Power Pop, Jangle Pop, Alternative Rock

These guys had a fantastic sound, but then they were gone. This was a great album with perfectly glistening singles and some strong deep cuts too.

"New Miserable Experience" is an alt-pop gem borrowing from big star, and is near-perfect in its effortless alt-poppy-ness. Almost every track sounds like a hit. This is another album that closes with a pseudo-alt-country song at the end called "cheatin'" which has the fun line "you can't call it cheatin' cuz she reminds me of you".
