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 75.7/100, a mean average of 74.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 76.2/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.2.

For fans of this artist (me) and this album (me) there’s a wonderful 10 year anniversary edition to enjoy featuring the original 7 tracks followed by 7 cover versions of those tracks featuring IDELS, Lucinda Williams, Australia’s Courtney Barnett and none other than Fiona Apple. A wonderful tribute to a wonderful album
