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)

No. This is not the Uber-Band as Camper van Beethoven was in the 80s. But this is why David Lowery is an absolute great songwriter. At least 3 great alternative songs alongside wonderful tracks. After Kerosene an absolute cracker
I confess I am particularly fond of this band. I like the often driving rock combined with the rough, gravelly vocals. To be honest the songs are probably 75 but Big Dipper is such an extraordinary ballad, for me it bumps the album up to 80.
