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 has a Bayesian average rating of 70.5/100, a mean average of 69.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 69.4/100. The standard deviation for this album is 10.7.

A debut EP that hints very nicely at the greatness to follow. Smalltown Bringdown and Last American Exit anticipate themes and ideas they would explore throughout their discography and Highway Girl remains a great, three chord Hip-head rock-out. I think Killing Time anticipates later arty songs like Gift Shop etc. Evelyn is good, too, Cemetery Sideroad... love the Hip.

Glimpse of the future - worth it for 'I'm a Werewolf Baby'. They hadn't refined their sound yet, but the foundation is there.

pretty good debut with a couple decent tracks like, 'Last American exit' and 'Evelyn'.
