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 80.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 80.0/100. The standard deviation for this album is 11.0.

Blind Pilot's hooks-laden, low-key indie folk isn't exactly the stuff of groundbreaking, boundary-busting experimentation, but rather the product of painstaking craftsmanship and gorgeous songwriting. They're pretty likeable, too, as original members Israel Nebeker and Ryan Dobrowski have logged thousands of miles touring the country on bicycles, both as environmental statement and aesthetic declaration of purpose. The opener to We Are the Tide, "Half Moon," is a warm, affable celebration of travel and inevitable change, a song whose precise meaning remains a bit opaque to me but that makes me cry every time, anyway.

Blind Pilot is another one of those great indie folk bands that you’ve probably never heard of. This is their second album and I’d say it’s equally as good as their first album. The music is good, the lyrics are good, the only problem I have with Blind Pilot is the lack of variety. Almost all of their songs sound the same. However they offer a little bit more variety on this album than their first one. It’s still a good album though, I recommend it.
