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 71.9/100, a mean average of 71.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 71.8/100. The standard deviation for this album is 14.1.

Mirage is the most elegant and melodic Meat Puppets albums. It also has some of the strongest songwriting in the Meat Puppets catalog. Gorgeous country-folk songs like Confusion Dog mingle with the silly Get on Down and I am a Machine and the melodic ballad Wind and the Rain. An essential record from their excellent SST era in the 1980s.
Track Pick: Confusion Fog
Gems: Wind and the Rain, Get on Down

One of the most elegant Rock albums of all time.
