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 71.5/100, a mean average of 70.9/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 70.9/100. The standard deviation for this album is 20.5.

This is a great album. Apparently overlooked by many as well.
Ah, the forgotten second album. An amazing listen, with awesome songs from one of the most overlooked bands of not only the 90s, but modern music in general.
If anything, this entry is even cheekier than their self-titled debut, though the songwriting "matures" into banality. It's certainly catchier, but at the expense of charm.
