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 15% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 74.2/100, a mean average of 75.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 75.8/100. The standard deviation for this album is 9.8.

Drop Nineteens: the band, the myth, the legend. They released 2 albums in the early 1990s, led by the landmark shoegaze classic Delaware in 1992, and then broke up and thought to never be heard of again. And yet 30 years later, we have Hard Light, a reunion album that brings familiar and distinct sonic elements of their 90's sound to the present, as if no time has passed at all. A cohesive and solid album, more dream pop/rock adjacent than shoegaze, but with the hallmarks of a Drop Nineteens effort, including driving bass, fuzzy guitars, and the dreamy vocal pairings of Greg Ackell and Paula Kelley. Stand out tracks include Scape Flow, Gal, The Price Was High and T.
