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 6% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 75.8/100, a mean average of 75.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 76.5/100. The standard deviation for this album is 11.0.

Maruja (Knock - UK - Mar 23) - Knocknarea

17.03.2025

Nearly two years on, it now sounds even better. 'Kakistocracy' has really stewed in its own juices and taken on the stench of oloroso barrel and smoked guanciale to eclipse the brilliant 'Blind Spot'.

High class psychedelic-jazz-punk

1.Maruja (Knock - UK - Mar 23) - Thunder. 84
2.Maruja (Knock - UK - Mar 23) - Blind Spot. 97
3.Maruja (Knock - UK - Mar 23) - The Tinker. 73
4.Maruja (Knock - UK - Mar 23) - Kakistocracy. 98

Ranked in order:

* Maruja (Knock - UK - Mar 23) - Kakistocracy. 98
* Maruja (Knock - UK - Mar 23) - Blind Spot. 97
* Maruja (Knock - UK - Mar 23) - Thunder. 84

An explosive blend of post rock, punk and jazz through a highly artistic spectrum that boasts superb songwriting and intense emotional moments. So many exciting sax melodies. I'm eagerly awaiting a full length project from this group.

Drawing their inspiration from GodSpeed, Slint or BCNR, Maruja's music seems to paint the chaos that prepares us while the bright future of the band seems inevitable »
