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 is rated in the top 5% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 76.0/100, a mean average of 76.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 76.6/100. The standard deviation for this album is 12.2.

Despite containing the instant Fall classic Bill Is Dead, this album took quite a while to stand out for me.

Sing Harpy kicks things off in a promising fashion, soon after we have the aforementioned Bill Is Dead with MES actually singing! This track is one of their best tracks of the 90's and was the only Fall track to top John Peel's Festive 50 whilst Peel was still alive anyway. Telephone Thing is pretty good, it doesn't really go anywhere but it is slightly different for the Fall, And Therein is very good but a few tracks here do seem a little murky and unremarkable.
