Rating metrics: Help 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 74.2/100, a mean average of 73.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 74.6/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.5.

Criminally underrated?

This is actually amazing. Constantly switching between quirky/rhythmic (a la Talking Heads) and gloriously melodic. And there are some genuinely epic bursts of sonic power every now and then.

Low-fi suits these guys incredibly well. The album is a bit of a blur, but a really fun endorphin-filled blur. Perfect for late-night shenanigans with friends.
