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 22% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 73.8/100, a mean average of 74.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 74.0/100. The standard deviation for this album is 12.4.

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.

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

This is my favorite Dinosaur Jr album, it's usually my go to for them. Should be ranked higher.

A lot of hard work happens in the background to keep BEA running, and it's especially difficult to do this when we can't pay our hosting fees :(
