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 74.3/100, a mean average of 75.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 75.7/100. The standard deviation for this album is 11.6.

'91:9 The Vacuum
When the Smiths broke up, I remember there being a palpable vacuum. A contingent of goth girls in my high school who all had had their heads shaved on one side went into literal state of mourning. And the music mags were filled with articles about who would be “the next Smiths”. On our shores none materialized. The closet being the Wedding Present. But, they were missing something. That feeling that you were lost in another world. Some insular place where nothing else mattered. That feeling that when they were on your beat-up, beloved walkmen, the rest of the world ceased to exist. Just you and your hopelessly romantic misery. Your heart simply breaking for a love that did not even exist.
Yet, all this time they were there! Hidden from us Yanks as some kind of punishment for not wanting pay our taxes. For telling the emperor that he had no clothes.
The Field Mice are the perfect compliment to what Galaxie 500 were doing on our shores and it seems they have a discography just a bit shorter in length that I’m now delving into with all the winsome excitement of child flipping through the pages of a Toys R Us catalog. Every song something new to get excited over.
Music to get lost in.
Music for overcast days.
Music that feels like a secret. Your secret.
Music for crushes that you do not even have!
Your heart simply breaking for that special girl who just absolutely positively has to be out there somewhere.
Perhaps she’s just been on the other shore.
Essential!
