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 6% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 75.6/100, a mean average of 74.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 75.9/100. The standard deviation for this album is 16.2.

I adore Car Seat Headrest. Teens of Denial was one of the best indie albums of the '10s, but after an unimaginative re-record of Twin Fantasy in 2018 and five years passing since a bizarre DIY synthpop record, I and many others feared that the prolific Will Toledo and co. had finally run out of steam. What a way to prove the doubters wrong -- a 70 minute prog rock opera that trades in biblical (and furry) themes. Godspeed space cowboy.

Car Seat Headrest (TS - USA - May 25) - The Scholars
02.05.2025
Far from their best work but it will still sit comfortably in the top 30 albums of the year. It's a bit confused and overly theatrical compared to some of Will's earlier stuff. The second half is stronger bar the great opener, 'CFF'.
