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 has a Bayesian average rating of 73.2/100, a mean average of 74.2/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 74.1/100. The standard deviation for this album is 6.7.

J Mascis doesn't need many effects pedals. Just like Bob Mould, he plows through the decades with his distortion sound. Sometimes it's just average, and other times it's simply very, very good. That's the case with this album, which features great songs and just has a great vibe. If you like him, you'll love this album!
