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 7% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 75.2/100, a mean average of 74.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 77.2/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.8.

An EP and although it's 6 tracks less than 18 minutes long but it sure feels like a full album with a true and worked out return to form by Jeff Tweedy and his band. So I'm tempted to vote to keep this work of art in the BEA community and in my chart of 2024 top albums. (Edited)
