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 16% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 74.0/100, a mean average of 75.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 75.0/100. The standard deviation for this album is 10.4.

Légèrement trop long mais il y a de la magie dans certaines mélodies.
Le meilleur album de Stephen Malkmus depuis bien longtemps. (Edited)
Totally agree with dihansse. Got pavement written all over this. Going to be a favourite of 2024 for sure (Edited)

At least half of the tracks could have come from a (succesful) Pavement reunion album because, although this is a supergroup from all different artists, the presence of Stephen Malkmus is fairly dominant and that's absolutely a good thing. (Edited)
