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 73.2/100, a mean average of 72.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 73.5/100. The standard deviation for this album is 12.4.

Best Tracks: In A Big City, Food Fight!
paladisiac 01/02/2013 16:22 | #59801
All these songs are upbeat, indie-rockin', extended anthems, about half clocking in over 5 minutes. "Local Business" is a lot like their previous album in that respect, onwards propelling forward, not really taking a break until track #8, "in a small body". My current fav is "still life with hot deuce on silver platter". Nearly as rockin'-catchy as on their previous release, with sorta-segue "food fight" flying through as a raucous romp which i wish were extended past 1:10. The lead singer still sounds like Conor Oberst.
