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 21% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 73.8/100, a mean average of 72.6/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 74.3/100. The standard deviation for this album is 16.2.

A great punk album. 'Best one Yet' and 'Modern Man' being the standout tracks for me. Tapers of a bit in the second half but still an all round better punk album than many of the other contenders

This easily Black Flag's most polished recording. A lot of the racks lean more towards metal than punk, with Anhilliate This Week being the stand out track for me.
