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 73.3/100, a mean average of 73.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 73.5/100. The standard deviation for this album is 12.1.

Starts brightly before fading into local-band-plays-Lassiters also rans. As Australian as being overly competitive.

A lot of love for this album and rightly so with its appearance on several year end best of lists. Like Wet Leg, the challenge for The Beths will be to follow this one up or be condemned to be known as a one year wonder

Sunny, punchy indie rock that by no means reinvents the wheel but is still a real good time nonetheless.
