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 has a Bayesian average rating of 71.7/100, a mean average of 71.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 71.6/100. The standard deviation for this album is 12.0.

Better still, but still not where we thought they'd get.

Not as good as In My Tribe but still a great album. I saw them live in Edinburgh Queens Hall on the tour promoting this and at the end Rob Buck threw his plectrum into the crowd and it hit me in the face and fell to the ground. I stayed standing still where I was until the lights came on and the crowd thinned out and managed to spot it on the ground.

This may not be my favourite 10,000 Maniacs album, but I'd say it's their most accomplished.

Top tracks: Hateful Hate, You Happy Puppet, Eat For Two
