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 74.1/100, a mean average of 74.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 74.4/100. The standard deviation for this album is 12.6.

Seventh and last record under the name Dinosaur jr.
It's basically a solo album from J Mascis with Mike Johnson on the bass and the heavy production by Kevin Shields. (Edited)

While this is still very much identifiable as a Dinosaur Jr. album, the songwriting, production, and mixing go in some clever directions previous DJ albums would not.
Hand It Over covers some really cool ground while still delivering what J Mascis and co are so great at. (Edited)

I really like the aesthetic of this record, but it's not super interesting to listen to.
