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 71.1/100, a mean average of 70.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 70.9/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.8.

Didn't like the songs. Mould's best work was definitely behind him.

One of my favorite albums from one of my favorite bands. After Hüsker Dü he release two very bitter albums of which this is the second. And the two most bitter and introspective tracks are also the best: the fairly subdued The Last Night and the one in which he release all his demons: Sacrifice/Let There Be Peace. This is his second solo masterpiece.
