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 69.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 70.3/100. The standard deviation for this album is 13.0.

To absolutely no one's surprise, Squid continues to be the premier post punk band churning out great records these days. What a gift Cowards is.

More British experimental post-punk from Brighton's finest.
You could put your fist through it...if you wanted to.
Sits between 2021s 'Bright Green Field' and the brilliant 'O Monolith' from 2023 for me, Clive. Sarcastically dark, like goading a stoat on a winter's walk (evening).
