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 12% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 74.5/100, a mean average of 75.1/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 75.1/100. The standard deviation for this album is 11.8.

I love this album so much. Very underrated rock n roll band with pop sensibilities. This is easily one of the most solid albums of the 2010s. Every track is super hooky in this short and sweet little gem, and still has me wanting sing along 10+ years later.

I totally agree with alexgane, except for the best songs.....
I love 'curse the night', and 'you hit me' also.
Bottom line is this band (2 members), is very good.
They have many other albums just as good...
Highly underrated on this site.
A good indie rock album.

A lot of hard work happens in the background to keep BEA running, and it's especially difficult to do this when we can't pay our hosting fees :(
