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 75.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 75.0/100. The standard deviation for this album is 12.0.

This was my introduction to Counting Crows. When I was a kid I owned only the first disc. It really grabbed me and became one of my favorite things to listen to. When I finally got around to listening to the second half it kind of lost its appeal. Still, the acoustic side of this album is incredible and so full of emotion. I would argue that the first half of the album contains some of the best versions of Counting Crows' best songs - Round Here, Have You Seen Me Lately, Mr. Jones, Rain King, hell all of them.
