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 2% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 78.5/100, a mean average of 77.4/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 78.7/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.6.

Classic jangly guitar music in the vein of Big Star and early R.E.M. Beautiful songs and sounds help to produce one of the most underrated albums of 1991. Lovely. (Edited)

If I ever happen to listen to "What You Do To Me" in the morning, I've had it - it'll be in my head all day after that ! (Edited)

Before ‘Bandwagonesque’ came out I was already massively into Teenage Fanclub so naturally the album rocked my world right ? Wrong !. You see 1991 was simply one of those sublime years whereby iconic album followed by iconic album came out (‘Nevermind’ , ‘ Loveless’, ‘Out of Time’ , Screamadelica’, ‘Spiderland’ ) ultimately leaving this superb release under their considerable shadow. It literally took years and I mean years before I circled back and dusted off that CD I purchased back in 91 and really got to know ‘Bandwagonesque’ and of course I loved it with so many sections reminding me of Big Star the power pop pioneers

Amazing how this band can so blatantly worship Big Star and not be destroyed for it...because they are good. Again..."Star Sign" is the most popular, but "The Concept" and others are much better.

This guy you met at a Big Star show knows every little thing about you. You can't tell if it's sweet or overwhelming.
