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 13% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 74.3/100, a mean average of 73.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 74.9/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.5.

Guster went on a pretty excellent 3 album run with Lost and Gone Forever, Keep It Together, and Ganging Up on the Sun.

Keep it Together hints at the evolution to come on Ganging Up On The Sun from college hand drum band with simple sweet melodies that have bordered on naïve to a better accomplished sound.

Come Downstairs and Say Hello is huge and a top 5 Guster song. It is my personal favorite by the band.

Careful is also classic Guster.

Amsterdam is the bands biggest hit and it's very good.

Jesus on the Radio tackles folk and Backyard is a sweet ballad.

Red Oyster Cult rocks has hard has Guster rocks.

Keep it Together is Guster's second best album. Lost and Gone Forever, the previous work, is probably what they are most known for at the peak of their college station powers. This album is more accomplished.

The transition from amateurs to professionals began here
