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 3% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 77.2/100, a mean average of 77.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 78.0/100. The standard deviation for this album is 16.4.

“I didn't find this album on Apple Music so had to revert to Youtube. They're a band from Athens, Georgia but were more the predecessors of the B-52's (the little screams are vintage B-52's, but also the use of those whistles and the dance sound in general) than of R.E.M. (although they covered them…”

the live-sounding production works *really* well. I actually really liked the Teenage Jesus songs here, moreso than in their own records. like there's a really light viscerality to it that works really, really well. As for Chance, he's brilliant as always and the other two artists' stuff surprised me to hell. Great stuff, great V/A comp. (Edited)
