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 11% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 74.7/100, a mean average of 75.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 75.2/100. The standard deviation for this album is 12.0.

Just another decemberists album in my book... I did like "Oh No!" and their epic last song "Joan in the Garden" partially because it was the last song.
What a great song it is: Joan in the garden. And Burial ground is also fantastic.
Brilliant album. Maybe their best. The variety of musical styles and influences are mind boggling
Another quality album from The Decemberists which would be marked higher if they hadn't dragged Joan In The Garden on for 19 minutes
